I cannot provide you with clue without the problem being debugged.

A voice near me says that it could be due to uninitialized struct
sigaction' sa_flags. Before 10.1, unused bits in sa_flags where silently
ignored, while 10.1 started checking. If this is true, the program
triggered undefined behaviour, which is catched now.
