Incidentally, the intent of the now-defunct wincap
wincap.has_buggy_thread_startup was to avoid creating wait_sig during
thread startup, moving it to dll_crt0_1() which is the code that
eventually calls main().
(This was all rehashed back in August/September 2010)
Although I didn't fiddle with that myself, Corinna reported that having
the value set had no effect in her test cases so I don't think your
analysis here is 100% correct.
