Thank you for that very helpful bit of information, but I already knew that.
What I do not know is how it is possible for a null _sigprocmask call
(a SIG_BLOCK call with no mask bits set) in libc/stdlib/malloc.c to cause a
kernel error, "file: table is full", in libc_r/uthread/uthread_init.c.
Do you?
If not, aren't you even a little bit curious?
