The threads signal handling leaves a little to be desired.

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.
