Color me confused.  I cloned James Toy's git repository at
git://zen-kernel.org/kernel/mmotm.git, and gitk claims that I am on tag
2010-04-05-16-09, which matches the string above.  But when I look at
fs/proc/array.c near line 241, I see:

238 static void collect_sigign_sigcatch(struct task_struct *p, sigset_t *ign,
239                                     sigset_t *catch)
240 {
241         struct k_sigaction *k;
242         int i;
243 
244         k = p->sighand->action;
245         for (i = 1; i <= _NSIG; ++i, ++k) {
246                 if (k->sa.sa_handler == SIG_IGN)
247                         sigaddset(ign, i);
248                 else if (k->sa.sa_handler != SIG_DFL)
249                         sigaddset(catch, i);
250         }
251 }

It seems unlikely that line 241 generated the above error.

Am I on the wrong version?  Or do the git tags not mean what I think
that they mean?

							Thanx, Paul
