Why should a signal mask per_THREAD, be any harder than a signal mask
per_PROCESS?

I recall having this under good ol' MVS. Each process/task within each
address space had it's own set of capablities.
Hmm, unless the problem is the poor split between address spaces and
processes/tasks under unix?

Spin Locks, bare metal. Oh, those were the days....
