Ah, I remember the other one. If the token on the target shadow stack is at the end of the shadow stack, it may not be able to handle pushing a shadow stack signal frame if a signal hits while is unwinding through the token. As in, where normal longjmp() is direct transition, in this case the longjmp() operation can be temporarily in a place where a signal cannot be handled.
