Thanks, I'll apply this for 5.12. However, I was trying to rework the commit
message to describe the impact of the issue and I'm not sure I agree with
your assessment that the second signal overrides the first. My (admittedly
brief) reading of __send_signal() is that the subsequent signal is
effectively ignored. Am I missing something?

Cheers,

Will
