[Bug libc/1780] New: size of sigset_t in ucontext_t structure does not match linux kernel


The size of sigset_t in the ucontext_t structure as defined in the linux 
kernel (I am using version 2.4.21-32.EL) does not match the size of the 
sigset_t in the ucontext_t structure defined in the glibc header files.  The 
problem shows up in any user-level signal handler that cares to check.  I've 
attached a simple testcase that demonstrates an implication of the problem.

The kernel, by default, has the correct view.  Thus, I am reporting the bug 
here.  Credit goes to Gregory Lueck for finding the bug.

Thanks,
Naveen Neelakantam
