Subject:   Arg! Siginfo and pthreads again

Again I've forgotten that SIGINFO dumps the pthread info and created
several gigabytes of /tmp files:

> rt% rm /tmp/uthread*
> /bin/rm: Argument list too long.

I don't consider it bad form to use SIGINFO to see if processes are
still around without first installing a SIGINFO handler.

Am I the only one ever burnt by this?
Do other user-space thread systems handle this similarly?
Maybe an info thread can block at an info fifo in conjunction
with a "psthread" program.
