Currently I have no idea where this change could come from...

Well, not sure this will help... but if you can reproduce this,
may be you can identify the sender of the wrong SIGHUP at least.

	cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
	echo "sig==1" >> events/signal/signal_generate/filter
	echo 1 >> options/stacktrace
	echo 1 >> events/signal/signal_generate/enable
	cat trace_pipe > SIGHUP_TRACE

and then rebuild the kernel.

Oleg.
