Yes, please do. And if there still appears to be a problem,
especially with anything my patches broke, send me something
to demonstrate it and I'll be happy to fix it. I wrote test
programs to test both sigwait and sigsuspend. You'll find
them in libc_r/uthread/test/sig{suspend|wait}. If you want,
hack those up to demonstrate the problem.

Again, give us something to demonstrate the problem and we
can try to fix it.

I would like a copy of the latest POSIX (threads) standard. How do we
get these and what version do I want?
