        ^^^^

This gets me the siginfo struct; this is fine, and I'm happy with this
part.

However, what I don't see to get at is the usercontext/ucontext
structure containing register contents and so on, which as far as I am
aware should be in the third (data) argument to the sa_sigaction-type
sighandler; that's where I'm getting my problems.

Change the info above to data, and...

[ x86 does what I expect... ]
csr21@lambda:~$ uname -a
Linux lambda 2.4.13-ac4 #1 Mon Oct 29 18:26:51 GMT 2001 i686 unknown
csr21@lambda:~$ ./foo
csr21@lambda:~$ echo $?
1

[ sparc doesn't ]
csr21@caligula:~$ uname -a
Linux caligula 2.4.6 #1 SMP Sun Sep 30 16:40:07 BST 2001 sparc64
unknown
csr21@caligula:~$ ./foo
csr21@caligula:~$ echo $?
0

Thanks,
