Thanks - my test program works fine now.
It still needs a fix against the pagefault-within-upcall thing --
Christian Limpach's relatively finegrained patch works well for me, without
it I'm getting eg

sa_switch(10483.17 flag 900004): Not enough stacks.
itimerfire(10483): overrun 1 on timer 88880010 (userret is 0xc0268308)

with the patch, everything went fine so far.

In my case, it was the SDL library.

Yes, obviously -- but where is that mask set?

Hmm - the "code" is that lowlevel traphandling T_* thing which is defined
in sys/<arch>/include/trap/h usually? In there some mi meaning which I missed?
