AFAICS both exec and exit rely on write_lock_irq(tasklist_lock) for 
synchronization of changes to tsk->sig{,hand}.
I bet an __exit_sighand occurs in the middle of proc_pid_status() - 
after the NULL test, before the access in task_sig.

Martin, could you check what happens if you do not release the 
tasklist_lock until after the task_sig()?
