post 3.5, phantom signals.

Since 3.5, I've started noticing weird things happening with signal delivery.
Things I've seen so far..

- long running tasks SIGINT, even though I wasn't even anywhere near the keyboard.
- processes running inside screen/tmux disappearing (and taking the whole session with them).

And now, while waiting for a kernel to build I just saw..

Any thoughts on specific commits that might be guilty ?
