Conceptually, there should be a break signal for every thread, and
jbreak should set a signal for every thread.

If need be, when spawning threads, the OS should be informed (by
writing to a file) either how many threads there will be, or their
identities. But I am not sure that anything outside of J should need
to know this -- having "the first thread that sees the global signal"
set "signals" for the other threads seems plausible.

I hope this makes sense,
