These are `normal`.
At least, I saw them too on my system.

Error in the patch?
hvengel wrote that in an older patch it worked OK. So needs to be
verified. Did anyone get a response from Alexander?
Or can we spot the bug in the patch(es) if we understand what is missing
or how this is caused?

So this implies that if we somehow add this flag the ERRORs should go away?
If so: can we somehow hardcode the PPSSIGNAL flag just to try?
Then later we can find a `clean` solution.
