How do signals work with pthreads in FreeBSD. How are process signals
delivered?
The best explanation of signals and threads in general
is in the POSIX spec, or Butenhof's book.

I suspect the question was rather more specific than that, due to
bad experiences with LinuxThreads. Does FreeBSD have a proper
signal delivery model, where thread masks are per-signal, and signals
sent to the process when all threads within the process have the
signal blocked remain pending against the process so any thread may
accept the signal using sigwait()/sigtimedwait()/sigwaintinfo().
These are POSIX threads, so if things don't behave as
specified by or as allowed by the standard, a bug report
should be filed.
