retitle 499569 gnupg-agent: modifies SigBlk mask of all processes spawned in 
the X session breaking unrelated software [i386 only?]

Hi again,

Thomas Viehmann was so nice and contacted me about this issue on IRC.
He could _not_ reproduce the issue on his amd64 system.

Someone else (Ingo) could reproduce this issue on his i386 (dual-core) system 
but
not on his amd64 system.

Someone else (Rene) could _not_ reproduce this issue on his ppc system.

Someone else (jonnylamb) could _not_ reproduce this issue on his sparc system.
He could reproduce this issue on his i386 (single-core) system.

I use i386 (quad-core) too. So we can assume this issue might be i386 specific!

We have now a one-liner to reproduce this bug:
gpg-agent --daemon grep SigBlk /proc/self/status

That should output:
SigBlk: 0000000000000000

But on the said i386 systems it outputs:
SigBlk: fffffffe00000000

For a while we thought this issue is maybe related to my specific
use-case, that is using the PC/SC / CCID / SSH support. But this
doesn't seem to be related as tests with a clean user (empty $HOME)
shows the same result.
