The threads signal handling leaves a little to be desired.  I think
the problem is there, not in the select stuff.

The time changes are the right thing to do.  I think the patch to select
is awful dirty, but no dirtiter than it not working, and Poul's going
to replace it anyway, after talking to Bruce (from last reports).

I would like to see the working patch (with the splhigh()) committed,
and *NOT* backout the changes.

If anyone could vote, that'd be mine.
