The problem in your patch is that ksi pointer can not be hold across
thread sleeping, because once the process is resumed, there is no
guarantee that the thread will run first, once the signal came from
process's signal queue, other threads can remove the signal, and here 
your sigqueue_take(ksi) is dangerous code.
