  From the POSIX spec (ISO/IEC 9945-1:1996), B.3.3.10, page 444:

  "Note that pthread_kill() only causes the signal to be handled
   in the context of the given thread; the signal action (termination
   or stopping) affects the process as a whole."

OK, that pretty much confirms what you found.  FreeBSD is not
sending the signal to the process when there is no installed
signal handler.

I'll fix this.  Thanks for pointing this out :-)
