[Same experience here, with a guess at what is causing this. My system is
an IBM ThinkPad X20. Note I am not really a kernel hacker, and the move in

Moving from FreeBSD 5.1beta2 to a slightly post-release CURRENT signals
have stopped working under bash and sh for ordinary users (but not for
root). Creating a user from scratch verified that the problem did not stem
from initialization process problems.
The following patch to trap.c might have a failure in the logic by
replacing the call via PCPU_GET(spinlocks) by the direct reference to the
thread->critnest, but this is just a guess.
