You don't need to convince me (the port I'm responsible for _does_
use i386_cleanup_dregs, after all ;-).  You need to convince Mark
Kettenis.  I'm sure that if you post a test program and a full recipe
to reproduce the problem, and then show the patch which makes the
problem go away, Mark will happily accept it.

Btw, please use "diff -c" or 'diff -u" when you send diffs.  The
format you were using is very hard to read, and also is prone to
failures when applied with Patch, if the sources changed a bit since
the version you used to produce the diffs.
