This is possibly a regression introduced in 3.0.6. A comparison of 
strace outputs of signal handling before and after the swapcontext() 
calls reveals that 'incyg' is incorrectly set after swapcontext(). A 
revert of
   https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=commit;h=c5f9eed1
fixes both the testcase and 'stress-ng --context ...'.

No patch provided because I'm not sure how to handle the (at least) two 
other use cases of setcontext() correctly:
- the call from _cygtls::call_signal_handler(), and
- a call from a signal handler.
