You don't need to convince me (the port I'm responsible for _does_ use i386_cleanup_dregs, after all ;-). You need to convince Mark Kettenis. I'm sure that if you post a test program and a full recipe to reproduce the problem, and then show the patch which makes the problem go away, Mark will happily accept it. Btw, please use "diff -c" or 'diff -u" when you send diffs. The format you were using is very hard to read, and also is prone to failures when applied with Patch, if the sources changed a bit since the version you used to produce the diffs.
