POSIX specifically says that the signal mask is per thread.  I'd be very
surprised if the 1:1 sigmask/sigpending stuff was wrong.  I don't think
signal handling in M:N has really been totally worked out.  Their concerns
were more like 'how do we do this given the new signal restructuring'

Perhaps I should start quoting posix.  I wonder what my legal rights
are given the copyright. hm..
