I never new this, and this will be absolutely key to getting LinuxThreads working (although this should REALLY be done in user-space... perhaps I shall modify pthread_exit or whatever to send the signal manually and see if that works perfectly.

This doesn't necessarily sound like it's the last bug to be fixed, but it sure could be. Thanks a bunch!
