Rich did you see the issue I was talking about in the example in my
previous email? Does it make sense?
I do not mind submitting a patch for this issue if you don't currently
have the spare cycles, just let me know if we are in agreement in terms
of understanding the issue and I can submit a patch that blocks "app
signals" in every place that uses the killlock.
Probably could also remove the pthread_self() special case that you
referenced earlier in the thread but that would be a second patch.
Thank you,
Hydro
