While playing with Daniel Micay's malloc patches, I ran into a lot of
pledge aborts since pledge("stdio") disallows raise(3) and abort(3).
That's because raise sends the to 'pid + THREAD_PID_OFFSET' instead
of the pid itself. The first sentence of the comment and the logic is
taken from kern_sig.c.
