I seem to remember that we fixed those as bugs before. And I think new code is a regression. >That is, kernel consumers of cv_waituntil_sig() >may need more fixes; the idea is that user level code >shouldn't need changes? I think so too; if user code needs fixes, then I think there's a bug in the kernel code; not specifically in the new callout implementation but other callers need to make sure that the system calls work as before.
