Seems to work for me.

That's with the futex bug fixed. Not that it looks like it would have
mattered except for the (unlikely) exception case, so my testing is
meaningless.

But on the whole it seems to work for me, and I can't see anything
else wrong than that incorrect branch target in the futex rewrite.
