hmm.. ok if it's not always thread initial, that's gonna make it a bit harder.
Can you try this quick hack:
http://people.freebsd.org/~mtm/patches/libthr.sigblock.diff

interested in knowing whether you still get the same errors.

If you have the time/inclination. I'll grab them as well and see what happens.
