Re: [patch] clear direction flag for signal handlers

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:swildner@ pointed out that there's yet another path that ends up running
:a signal handler (for linux binaries). Updated patch follows.
:
:gcc-4.3 assumes the direction flag is clear on function entry as
:specified by the i386 abi. Ensure that is the case when running
:a signal handler.

    It all looks good, definitely commit it and maybe even MFC it to
    the release branch too.
