I'm concerned about this patch. There's a window where current_sig could
be changed after exiting the while, before the lock is acquired by
cygheap->find_tls (_main_tls); Should current_sig be rechecked after the
lock is acquired to make sure that hasn't happened? Also, does
current_sig need to be volatile, or is yield a sufficient fence for the
compiler to know other threads may have changed the value?
