Note how it picked up two siginfo files for two different tasks, both not being the do_rootfs that was meant to be compared. The actual diff then really is between two completely independent tasks.

Probably the code which looks for siginfo files uses *<task name> as file pattern, without taking into account that one task may be the suffix of another.
