Here's a simple patch for i386. Please consider it for inclusion.
Posix explicitly requires the behaviour implemented by this patch.

- if (! on_sig_stack(esp))
+ if (sas_ss_flags(esp) == 0)
esp = current->sas_ss_sp + current->sas_ss_size;
}
NOTE: As far as I can tell all archs are affected by this bug.
