Ok, I had a look into the Linux source and searched the web, and here's the problem. One is that sigset_t on Linux is not just a 32 or 64 bit bitmask anymore, but an array of ulong's used as a rather big sigmask. OTOH, mcontext_t::oldmask is only the size of "unsigned long". In fact, as it turns out by inspecting the Linux kernel, oldmask is nothing else than the first bits of uc_sigmask which fit into an unsigned long. And in the net I found that oldmask is just the old representation of sigset_t, before the Linux kernel allowed more signals than fit into a bitmask of unsigned long size. In fact, it's only for backward compat, but unused these days. Given that, setting context.uc_sigmask to this_oldmask is apparently the right thing to do. For emulating backward compat (which we don't need, but it also doesn't hurt), we could set oldmask to the same value: context.uc_sigmask = context.uc_mcontext.oldmask = this_oldmask; > >Oh, btw., what about cr2?

Yes, but you can just apply it as well. cr2 is the address of a page fault, so that's equivalent to the value in ExceptionInformation[1] which, in turn, is stored in si_addr in exception::handle.
