_____________________________________________________________________________

The description of raise() says that it is equivalent to calling

     pthread_kill(pthread_self(), sig)

 Since raise() is async-signal-safe, this equivalence implies that
 pthread_self() and pthread_kill() must also be async-signal-safe, but
 they are not in the list of async-signal-safe functions.

Desired Action: 
Add pthread_self() and pthread_kill() to the list of async-signal-safe
 functions.
