But that was the point, please see how it handles the
old kernels:

$ ./sas
[FAIL]    sigaltstack(SS_ONSTACK | SS_AUTODISARM): Invalid argument
[RUN]    signal USR1
[FAIL]    ss_flags=1, should be SS_DISABLE
[RUN]    switched to user ctx
[RUN]    signal USR2
[FAIL]    sigaltstack re-used
[FAIL]    Stack corrupted
[RUN]    Aborting

Unfortunalely, for Ingo it crashed...
I am not sure why, I can't reproduce. :(
So if you disable all the "old" tests, you can as well
remove them, or... find the bug and re-enable. :)
