Thank you, i will have a look. I noticed a few patches that where submitted during the last year, maybe one of them is related: Switch SIG_IPI to SIGUSR1 Fix signal handling of SIG_IPI when io-thread is enabled In the first commit there is mentioned a "32-on-64-bit Linux kernel bug" is there any reference to that?
