Yeah, if I had spent a bit more time looking at the stack, I would have noticed
that the symptom was wrong for that patch.  What's happening is that you are
taking a timer interrupt while on the initial process stack, which can't be
allowed because interrupts should only happen on a kernel stack.

Make sure your initial_thread_cb_skas (in arch/um/kernel/skas/process.c)
blocks signals like so:

	block_signals();
	if(sigsetjmp(here, 1) == 0)
		siglongjmp(initial_jmpbuf, 2);
	unblock_signals();
