The changes made in HEAD today revealed a bug in the virtual kernel's
SMP boot sequence that will lock it up, so this is a head's up that
you also need to recompile any SMP virtual kernels you are playing with
to get the bug fix or they won't work with the new HEAD.
Silly me, I thought the signal mask for a signal was just (1 << signo).
It isn't. Some dummy in unix land 20 years ago made it (1 << (signo-1)).
Sigh. So I wasn't blocking SIGIO when I thought I was.
