Hi,

Sorry for taking so long to test this.

Thanks for the test. Unfortunately, the result is the same regardless
of whether I apply the patches or not. In both cases:

/root # ./nodefer
SIGUSR2: not blocked
SIGTERM: not blocked

On my desktop, it behaves as expected:

$ ./nodefer-pc
SIGUSR2: blocked
SIGTERM: blocked

Your patch doesn't appear to do any harm though, and it looks correct
to me. Perhaps there's another bug lurking somewhere as well. Some
preliminary debugging makes me suspicious about libc, but I can't tell
for sure yet.
