It was found out that SIGSEGV occurred the lib/libc/locale/localeconv.c
following as an examined result.

localeconv.c line 37
 :     static struct lconv ret;
 : 
 :     if (__mlocale_changed) {
 :         /* LC_MONETARY */
 :         ret.int_curr_symbol     = _CurrentMonetaryLocale->int_curr_symbol;

And, the direct cause which SIGSEGV occurs is in vm/vm_map.c.
vm/vm_map.c line 2373
 :         prot = entry->protection;
 :         if ((fault_type & (prot)) != fault_type)
 :                 RETURN(KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE);

When SIGSEGV occurs, the value of prot is 0x5(VM_PROT_READ|VM_PROT_EXECUTE),
the value of fault_type is 0x3(VM_PROT_READ|VM_PROT_WRITE).

By way of experiment, I surrounded this with #if 0-#endif :-)
Then, /bin/sh works!
But, I don't think this method to become a fundamental solution.
