[PATCH] threaded coredumps, tcore-fixes-2.5.51-A0

This fixes one more threaded-coredumps detail reported by the glibc
people: all threads taken down by the coredump code should report the
proper exit code.  We can do this rather easily via the group_exit
mechanism.  'Other' threads used to report SIGKILL, which was highly
confusing as the shell often displayed the 'Killed' message instead of a
'Segmentation fault' message.

Another missing bit was the 0x80 bit set in the exit status for all
threads, if the coredump was successful.  (it's safe to set this bit in
->sig->group_exit_code in an unlocked way because all threads are
artificially descheduled by the coredump code.)
