I should have added: libthr tries to play nice with old kernels that have the
broken sigtimedwait semantics. But, it relies on the FreeBSD version, which was
not changed with the kernel changes, but rather with the libthr changes. Your
kernel must be either before the kernel sigtimedwait changes OR after the
libthr changes but not inbetween.

in pseudo math:  :-)
kernel < kernel sigtimedwait changes OR kernel > libthr changes

Cheers.
