Just updated my sources, got 1.50.2.2 of kern_sa.c, which has a patch
that looks very much like the patch that was already floating around
on one of the sparc* lists (l->l_flag |= L_SA_SWITCHING).  

*This* part I already had, and it wasn't sufficient, but the changes
to sparc*/sparc*/machdep.c look different to what I had, so maybe I
misapplied something in backporting the original patch.

I'll try this over the next days, but can't promise any results "real
soon", as there is lot of day-to-day work coming :-(

Just for clarification: there are some other patches floating around
that change libpthread/pthread.c (PTHREAD_MLOCK_KLUDGE).  Are these
also still considered necessary?
