Both the signal thread (via sigwait()) and the cpu thread (via
a normal signal handler) were attempting to catch SIG_IPI.
This resulted in random freezes under Darwin.
This patch separates SIG_IPI from the rest of the signals handled
by the signal thread, because it is independently caught by the cpu
thread.
