Which is hardly surprising - it would be a bug if it would use pt_regs->REG. sigreturn must restore all registers. Therefore, SAVE_EXTRA_REGS in it ought to be redundant. It is a leftover from the time SAVE_EXTRA_REGS wasn't only saving registers, but it also was extending stack to "full" pt_regs. Delete this SAVE_EXTRA_REGS. Run-tested.
