There are some other changes that the -java folks have wanted for some time (signal handlers installed with SA_SIGINFO now always get a siginfo_t and ucontext_t). Normally I would wait until after 5.0-release to do this, but the ia64 folks (perhaps the sparc64?) really wanted this. I'd like some feedback on whether some heavy threaded apps (GNOME, OpenOffice, Java, etc) have any problems with this patch before asking re@ for commit permission. BTW, it also needs testing on alpha.
