Should this become the default for config-freebsd.h, or should
we leave it alone?  I can submit a patch which does something like:

#if (__FreeBSD_version < 501102 /* or whatever value is appropriate */)
#define ACE_LACKS_THREAD_PROCESS_SCOPING
#endif

The Proactor test now works, but it only works with libkse.
My patch was not signal related:

Mon Jul 14 11:16:25 2003  Craig Rodrigues <crodrigu at bbn.com>

        * ace/POSIX_Proactor.cpp: FreeBSD defines the sysconf value
          for _SC_AIO_LISTIO_MAX to 16, and the sysconf value for
          _SC_AIO_MAX to be 1024.  The lower value must be assigned to
          aiocb_list_max_size_ otherwise aio_suspend() will fail.  There
          was already already some logic in here to support HPUX that also
          works for FreeBSD, so use that.

OK, that's very nice!  At what point will the signal support
be good enough to comply with POSIX Real-time signals?

Thanks.
