>Organization:
muc.de
>Environment:
		Standard 3.2 RELEASE installation 
		(sources upgraded to RELENG_3 AND CURRENT,
		 source of pthreads did not change there)

>Description:

		If using pthread_kill(), the signal handler is 
		not called, if the specific thread is e.g. sleep()ing.
		Only EINTR is returned.

>How-To-Repeat:

		Run /usr/src/lib/libc_r/test/sigsuspend.
		The test will fail because the signal handler does
		not get called that many times than expected.

>Fix:
(applies both to RELENG_3 and CURRENT)
		If the thread which should be signalled is in
		SLEEP_WAIT, SELECT_WAIT and similar states, *RECORD*
		the signal in the sigpending mask, as done in other
		states too:
