Doh, right! Sorry. A comment to that effect to alert the reader
would certainly have helped :) Neat trick that I missed on the quick
reading.

Restoring the context in siglongjmp should not be a problem per-se.
NetBSD libc does that and the example code doesn't crash there (quick
unscientific test on a ppc that I happen to have a terminal open on).
But then NetBSD libc doesn't bother to carefully factor that code to
minimize the need for MD asm.
Thanks, and sorry for the noise.
