pthread_kill() has a problem in PThreads 1.60beta6. It checks to see
if the target thread is in the state PS_SIGWAIT, and if it is it
reschedules it. But it does not check if there is more than one
thread in the PS_SIGWAIT state, and hence mangles the pthread_sigwait
linked list, potentially resulting in threads getting blocked forever,
and signals never being delivered. I have a *very* contrived test
case that demonstrates this problem if you would like it. Please let
me know...
