Oooo, can I test it please?  We are still having problems with mono on HEAD 
here at work.  I tried merging the changes in uthread_cond.c 1.32 to 
libpthread but that seemed to make it worse.  The problems seem to be that a 
signal handler is being run when the SYNCQ sflag is set (but the thread is 
not on a cv or a mutex queue), and the handler calls sem_post() which is 
supposed to be signal safe.  sem_post() tries to lock a mutex and then bombs 
with the assertion failure.
