OK, binaries using glibc linuxthreads don't seem to work after this change
(checked with realplay).  This is not a big loose however, as there is
still some emulation problem with threaded application which is
not tracked down yet - majority of the threaded apps stopped working after
a while. Since I need to track that down and don't feel like
implementing Linux realtime signals right now, I'll use lower
'release' number for my tree. Not a big deal :)

sysctl would be cool.

Setup depending upon p_comm is probably too hackish, but it's also
an option.
