int pthread_kill(pthread_t thread, int sig);

The posix function pthread_kill (in cygwin) does not perform error
checking when the
argument sig is zero, though it should according to standard.
It means ESRCH is not returned when the thread is not valid (for example
it exited before).

Is it possible to correct this ?
