+Unfortunately, there are a couple of bugs in my pthread_cancel support (no, say it isn't so :-)<p>
+Oh well, I cam across a couple of cases that I missed in my testing last week. Here are the bugs:<p>
+1. If a thread calls pthread_testcancel during it's cleanup processing after being cancelled, the pthread kernel would hang.<p>
+2. I didn't realize that threads in PS_SLEEP_WAIT state are *NOT* on any queue, they are handled using a linked list. So, when cancelling a thread that was sleeping, a PANIC() I put in possiblymakeRunnable would go off.<p>
+Both of these are fixed. The diffs are attached.<br>
