The sleeping process will get the SIGSEGV, with whatever content it has; 
hopefully it should handle it in kernel code but I'm not too sure about the 
situation. To ignore the signal you'll need a PTRACE_CONT (or PTRACE_SYSCALL, 
depending on the situation) with a 0 signal value.

However, is this related to the below problem? Did you try the other way 
around (i.e. upgrading) to solve it?
