I'm pretty sure it's this commit to i386/machdep.c:
===
revision 1.377
date: 1999/11/21 14:46:43;  author: pho;  state: Exp;  lines: +5 -5
Moved useracc() to top of sigreturn as to avoid panic
caused by invalid arguments to rutine.

Reviewed by:    marcel, phk

.. it's right in the area that's breaking netscape:
484 communicator-4.7 PSIG  SIGALRM caught handler=0x8fea40 mask=0x0 code=0x0
484 communicator-4.7 CALL  sigreturn(0x50011ed4)
484 communicator-4.7 RET   sigreturn -1 errno 14 Bad address

Cheers,
