400a63d937 Change a "while {}" loop to a "do {} while" to allow it to be
executed at least once, fixing pthread_mutex_lock() for recursive
mutex lock attempts.

Correctly set a threads signal mask while it is executing a signal
handler.  The mask should be the union of its current mask, the
signal being handled, and the mask from the signal action.

5ed7dea44c When entering the scheduler from the signal handler, tell
the kernel to (re)use the alternate signal stack.  In this
case, we don't return normally from the signal handler,
so the kernel still thinks we are using the signal stack.
The fixes a nasty bug where the signal handler can start
fiddling with the stack of a thread while the handler is
actually running on the same stack.

919c3e124e Increase the size of the mktemp() filename space by dropping the PID from
the encoding and using the character set [a-zA-Z0-9]. This gives a total
of 62^6 = 56800235584 possible temporary filenames for the usual default
invocation of 6 X's (compared to as few as 52 possibilities for the
previous algorithm where up to 5 characters were wasted by the PID).

Update some apparently bitrotten comments to reflect reality.

69c0393f8e Don't needlessly poll file descriptors when there are no
file descriptors needing to be polled (Doh!).  Reported
by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>.

Don't install and start the scheduling timer until the
first thread is created.  This prevents the overhead of
having a periodic scheduling signal in a single threaded
program.  Reported by Dan Nelson <dnelson@emsphone.com>.

Allow builtin longjmps out of application installed
signal handlers without the need perform any post-handler
cleanup:

  o Change signal handling to save the threads interrupted
    context on the stack.  The threads current context is
    now always stored in the same place (in the pthread).
    If and when a signal handler returns, the interrupted
    context is copied back to the storage area in the pthread.

  o Before calling invoking a signal handler for a thread,
    back the thread out of any internal waiting queues
    (mutex, CV, join, etc) to which it belongs.

Rework uthread_info.c a bit to make it easier to change
the format of a thread dump.

Use an alternal signal stack for the thread library's
signal handler.  This allows us to fiddle with the main
threads stack without fear of it being in use.
