I have a patch that seems to fix things
<http://world.std.com/~aml/python/linuxthreads-patch/linuxthreads.diffs>
and a c program to test for LinuxThreads behavior that would be suitable
for autoconf
<http://world.std.com/~aml/python/linuxthreads-patch/test.c>

I just need a bit of time testing the test suite changes for
how they run on other platforms, and to integrate the test program
into configure.in.

It puts all the changes into a REDIRECT_SIGNALS_TO_MAIN_THREAD
define, so there should be any effect on other platforms.
