No, cursig() will always stop the process and let the tracing parent look 
at the signal.

However, as we don't want to block there, we are returning ERESTART from 
fork1().  Now we should *only* do this if there is a signal.  Otherwise 
we'll just restart the syscall and the situation won't change.

No, this is "new" code :)  It was added by you in 2006, sys/signalvar.h 
rev 1.15.

I'm sure this is the correct fix.
