The culprit is udev.
udev runs "ifup" when it founds eth0, then ifup starts dhclient3 and restarts sshd!

Temporary fix to this:
- Remove "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces
- Add "/sbin/ifup eth0" to /etc/rc.local (before "exit 0", of course)

Now only udev has the strange signal mask on my machine.
