Yes.  The structure assignment of the pending mask back to the ucontext
would copy 32-bytes instead of 8-bytes.

context->uc_sigmask = pending_mask;

I did not correctly recall the root cause.  The problem was a disagreement
over the size of sigset_t between glibc and the kernel.  The glibc
definition is a 32-byte bit set.

Yes, those numbers seem okay.  NSIG is sized correctly.  sigset_t is not.
