Just FYI, I don't know yet what happens exactly, but this has nothing
to do with the alternate stack.  The child process fails with a status
code 0xC00000FD, STATUS_STACK_OVERFLOW.  Which is kind of weird, given
that the stack overflow has been averted by calling siglongjmp.

I have a hunch.  The stack state in the parent is so that TEB::StackLimit
points into the topmost guard area which, when poked into, triggers the
stack overflow exception.  When forking, Cygwin performs exactly this:
It pokes into the stack to push the guard page out of the way, thus=20
causing the stack memory to be commited, which in turn allows to copy
the stack content from parent to child.

Ok, I'm not sure if I can debug this soon, but at leats it's not
related to sigaltstack handling nor is it a regression.
