	* hurd/catch-signal.c: New file.

	* hurd/intr-msg.c: When restarting RPC, fetch a new reply port.

	* hurd/hurdsig.c: Use new hurdfault.h interface.
	(abort_all_rpcs): Mutate return value to EINTR in threads whose
	replies we will wait for.

	* hurd/hurdkill.c (_hurd_sig_post): When doing pgrp, make sure we
	do ourselves last.

Wed Jan  3 19:17:10 1996  Miles Bader  <miles@gnu.ai.mit.edu>

	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/access.c (__access): Put the uid/gid arguments
	to auth_makeauth() in the right order.

Wed Jan  3 17:19:04 1996  Roland McGrath  <roland@churchy.gnu.ai.mit.edu>

	* sysdeps/generic/strsep.c: Rewritten.

	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/fork.c: Use a different workaround for the
 	suspended page fault deadlock kernel bug: thread_abort our signal
 	thread first thing after proc_dostop.

	* sysdeps/mach/hurd/setgid.c: Rewrote gid frobnication to
	recognize rootness properly.

	* hurd/hurdsig.c: Use new signal preemption interface.
