Re: signal delivery, was Re: reliable reproducer

[Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org>]

Please try this patch.  Signal delivery should only happen at insn
boundaries, but due to the way the 030 handles return from bus error
exceptions (the insn is resumed, not restarted like on the 040/060) the
kernel may do it in the middle of the faulting insn.
