Thanks a lot for pointing this out. Andrew, could this be folded into 
pie-randomization.patch please?

pie randomization: fix BAD_ADDR macro

pie-randomization.patch makes the load_addr in load_elf_interp() the load 
bias of ld.so (difference between the actual load base address and first 
PT_LOAD segment's p_vaddr). If the difference equals (on x86) to 
0xfffff000 (which is valid [1]), SIGSEGV is incorrectly sent.

This patch changes the BAD_ADDR so that it catches the mappings to the 
error-area properly.
