Small difference with SIGWINCH though. SIGWINCH default action applies to all processes. But the special behavior for SIGKILL only applies to init. But yes, its an old oddity. | I guess you already see that personally I dislike this patch ;) At least | I'd ask you to not mix it with this series.

Any comments ? Should I send patches 1-6 to akpm ?
