I know the problem but no solution. I suspect that it's a
problem of the poll function in Big Endian environments, because
I can reproduce this on my Indigo2 and on an Ultra 1 as well.

I remember seeing a patch concerning this problem - Something with
rtsignals - But i cant seem to find it anymore.

     Why is it called "common sense" when nobody seems to have any?

That's probably this one.  I knew I'd let a patch slip.  Glibc folk, is
this OK?  The siginfo struct is different on MIPS.

Yes, that's fine.

Thanks, I've committed it,
