  Modified files:
    sys/i386/i386        mem.c 
  Log:
  Check for signals while reading /dev/urandom.  Reading 10MB from
  /dev/urandom takes about 38 seconds on a P5/133.  It is useful
  to be able to kill such reads almost immediately.  Processes
  doing such reads are now scheduled so their denial of service
  is no worse than that of processes looping in user mode.
