     the sigtramp.  That way we can still recognize a sigtramp if its
     location is changed in a new kernel.  This is especially
     important for OpenBSD, since it uses a different memory layout
     than NetBSD, yet we cannot distinguish between the two.

     Of course this is still based on the assumption that the sigtramp
     is placed directly under the location where the program arguments
