Hmmm... That just seems too, how-do-you-say-it?, easy.  :-)

So, I did just that, and it appears like the SIGSEGV doesn't
come from the kernel!  I can see do_signal() delivering the
bad boy, but I don't yet know where it came from...

Oh, yeah, there are a bunch of them:
    lwc1, mtc1, sub.d, cvt.d, c.eq.d, mul.d

But that's OK, right, because we have the Algorithmics FPU
emulation code in the kernel to support all of those...
