Thanks for looking at this Anton.

I don't really know what signal should be used here. Several initial
attempts at this didn't work because of ABI and calling convention issues
and I thought I had figured out a sound solution by directly forming and
calling the library routines using Clang's code generation to handle all of
the ABI issues.... but apparently not.

If you need to back out the patch temporarily or take any other steps to
mitigate, by all means. =/ Sorry for the fallout.
