>From what I've found out so far is that the sigwait_compat() function in
compatfd.c will block all signals with sigprocmask() call and then wait
for a single signal in sigwaitinfo() (forgot what it is). Sounds a bit odd
to me but perhaps there's a reason for that? I tried changing the
sigprocmask() call so that it only blocks the same signals that it will
later wait for and things start rolling again.
