Running the 2.4.9-pa16 kernel, I still get the 'Trace/breakpoint' trap
every time I run 'make mrproper' in my linux source directory.

One very significant difference w.r.t. 2.4.9-pa13 is that it doesn't
crash the machine anymore. Running it under gdb works fine. Running
it under strace produces an endless list of

sg_sigreturn(0) = 0

(about 547 lines or so)

and then a SIGILL (Illegal Instruction) trap.

I'm not at my machine at the moment, so the strace output is from 
memory.

It looks like this patch:

did something. But it's so large I'm not sure what exactly :-)
