hi,
this change re-introduces the bug that the previous change fixed,
namely that signals do not interrupt the syscall that's waiting
for a packet to arrive or the timeout to expire. for this to work,
it would need to add all previously-unmasked signals to the kqueue
event list (since there doesn't appear to be a way to ask for
multiple signals as one event).
since there's only 1 file descriptor in this case, it seems better
to just go back to the previous pollts() implementation.
separately, shouldn't pollts() have replacement version in libpthread
so that changes to the signal mask only affect the current thread's
mask instead of the process-global mask?
