[PATCH 2.5.73] Signal handling fix for ppc

[Jörn Engel]

Hi!

This patch causes an application with a broken stack to die with a
SIGSEGV (and a core dump and all that) instead of a silent do_exit.

Most other architectures already have it, so ppc should get it as
well.

Anton, did I understand it correctly that you already have the
equivalent for ppc64 in the queue?
