This might be a kernel bug. We should always return 32-bit quantities to
userspace (until we get a 64-bit userspace :).
Once we straighten out the sigcontext->mcontext_t issue in glibc, we can
take a look at this. I might just patch glibc on my box tonight... and go
forward with hacking on the kernel bits.
