[erlang-questions] Using sigwait in linked driver causes erl_ddll:load to return {error, {open_error, -10}}

Greetings,

I've been tinkering with the Linux timer API (following the examples
given by the rt-tests programs) and a simple linked driver with
Erlang.  This is my first foray into each of these, so forgive me if
I'm over looking something simple.

I'm using Gentoo Linux localhost 2.6.27-gentoo-r8 #4 SMP PREEMPT Fri
Apr 17 08:19:37 MDT 2009 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core
Processor 5000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

as well as erl Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.5 [source] [64-bit]
[smp:2] [async-threads:0] [hipe] (I've tested with and without hipe)

What I've found is that if I comment out my use of sigwait (which is
in the process handler), erl_ddll:load will return ok.  If I leave
this in, erl_ddll:load returns -10 status.

Has anyone seen something like this?  Does anyone have more useful
ideas how I can figure out why it's failing?  I was assuming a library
mismatch but I can't figure out what, and I even leave in other sig*
functions (such as sigemptyset and sigprocmask).

I build with -fPIC -lrt -m64 -shared

Thanks in advance,
Rob Elsner
