Description
As reported by Jörg and discussed in this chicken-hackers thread, when multiple signals are dispatched in parallel it's possible for C_stack_limit to be assigned an invalid value due to a race in C_raise_interrupt.
7216501 addressed the issue to a degree, but not entirely. A proper fix will likely require some synchronization around this section of code.
