FYI, after I updated an SMP machine (with 4BSD) yesterday it got into
a state where all processes were sleeping and the only running
processes were the idle tasks, but nothing was apparently holding a
lock.  This is just after the most recent commit to kern_sig.c, so
it's one possible candidate for the cause.  I backed out this change,
and so far it hasn't recurred.
