Ah, I remember the other one. If the token on the target shadow stack
is at the end of the shadow stack, it may not be able to handle pushing
a shadow stack signal frame if a signal hits while is unwinding through
the token. As in, where normal longjmp() is direct transition, in this
case the longjmp() operation can be temporarily in a place where a
signal cannot be handled.
