The thread group changes broke the signal handling in linuxthreads.
The CLONE_SIGHAND is now also used to enable thread groups but since
linuxthreads already used CLONE_SIGHAND and is not prepared for thread

I've told Linus several times about this problems but he puts out one
test release after the other without this fixed.
