Gentle ping: I guess there was a misunderstanding; in v5, I was
also changing the name of the test, to which you objected, and
I agreed. But, we need to change the name of the directory since
the new test has no relation to the current directory name,
"sigaltstack". The patch description explains that the directory
should be generically named.
