Where is that overwrite happening? Between the point where your check
happens, and the point where the old check is, the only calls are to
fpu__alloc_mathframe() and align_sigframe(), right?
fpu__alloc_mathframe() just does some size calculations and doesn't
write anything. align_sigframe() also just does size calculations. Am
I missing something?
