There is a PR that says our handling of not implemented Linux
syscalls does not match Linux's. Seemingly Linux returns ENOSYS but
we deliver a signal and kill the process. See

	http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=74302

It should be pretty easy to check Linux's behaviour and verify that
the patch does the right thing. I'll probably get around to looking
at it eventually, but someone else might have more time.
