#+thats-not-a-thread-its-a-promise

	To reduce the number of hardcoded offsets to struct thread
	elements in Lisp, we move the struct thread definition into
	objdef.lisp

	But this creates circular dependencies in C-land, where the
	first half of sbcl.h has #defines that all the other headers
	depend on, but the second half has structures that depend on
	all the other headers.  So, hack up genesis to write n
	header files (config.h, constants.h, static-symbols.h, plus
	one per primitive-object) instead of one.

	Now we can do some cleanup of the more gross uses of magic
	numbers in Lisp (debug-int, pseudo-atomic macro, etc)

	Lost *current-thread* : as a struct thread * it was useless,
	and as a pid it was unprintable 75% of the time, a native word
	pid is not a fixnum.

	Settled the interface for protect_control_stack_guard_page:
	it takes a pid

	is_valid_lisp_addr fixed to check all control stacks, not just
	the first one

	Parent thread now catches signals from dying children and
	cleans up after them (see destroy_thread)

SYSTEM-SPECIFIC HINTS

for OpenBSD:
  OpenBSD 3.0 has stricter ulimit values, and/or enforces them more
  strictly, than its predecessors. Therefore SBCL's initial mmap()
  won't work unless you increase the limit on the data segment from
  the OpenBSD defaults, e.g. with
    ulimit -S -d 1000000
  before you run SBCL. Otherwise SBCL fails with a message like
  "ensure_space: failed to validate xxxxxxx bytes at yyyyy". (SBCL
  is just allocating this huge address space, not actually using this
  huge memory at this point. OpenBSD <3.0 had no problem with this,
  but OpenBSD 3.0 is less hospitable.)
