[PATCH] Fix linuxthreads when spawned from programs using NPTL

Hi!

If a linuxthreads programs is spawned from a threaded NPTL program
(such as gnome-terminal, konsole etc.), bad things happen as
since 2003-03-25 NPTL blocks __SIGRTMIN+1, so all LT threads
but the manager (which does SIG_SETMASK at the very end) never receive
__pthread_sig_cancel.

2003-04-03  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub at redhat dot com>

	* pthread.c (pthread_initialize): Unblock __pthread_sig_cancel
	in case the parent blocked it.
