OK, I finally got it to compile by replacing sigmask_lock with
current->sigmask_lock.
Thanks for the tip.
Tonight I'll (hopefully) be finishing up an RPM for RedHat 6.1 and trying
it out. If that works then I can continue working on my Thesis.
After my Thesis, maybe I can do some "maintenance" of userfs or something
in a couple of months.....
