  Modified files:
    lib/libc/stdlib      malloc.c 
  Log:
  Fix recursion problem which occurs when a signal is received during
  a malloc. The signal handler creates a thread which requires a malloc...
  For now, the only thing to do is to block signals. When we move user
  pthreads to use the kernel threads, mutexes will be implemented in kernel
  space and then malloc can revert.
