I think you miss the point here. All I was trying to say that it is better
document this than having more people confused by using sigprocmask() instead
of pthread_sigmask(). All I ask is documentation, because there are systems out
there which comply with UNIX International and developers used to those systems
may face the same problem I had.

If you show me the piece of documentation where you say that pthread_sigmask()
has to be used instead of sigprocmask() in mt-applications, then I will say I
am sorry for bothering you and 'mea culpa'. And, please, don't come with
reading POSIX, because you know much better how closely LinuxThreads follow
that standard.
