Yes, this is a serious problem and we need to get to the bottom of it.
Could you please describe, in super-simple steps, how one should go about
reproducing it?
Also, the entire strace output for both good and bad kernels might be
useful. Am wondering what your fd #4 refers to.
A socket, I guess. It _might_ not be a signal or poll problem at all (but
it probably is, given the track record of those patches).
Do you have time to do a git-bisect?
