--- Comment #1 from Ed Swierk <eswierk at gmail dot com> ---
The root cause of the problem appears to be the Linux kernel's emulation of
MIPS floating-point branch instructions. To emulate an FP branch instruction
correctly, it copies the next instruction (the branch delay slot) to a
temporary frame on the user stack and executes it there. But if the user stack
is marked non-executable, this causes a segv.
