Tom's suggestion: "Another possible solution for this problem would be to just
not call atfork registered handlers at all if fork is called from within the
context of a signal handler."
... seems to be what the IEEE interpretation recommends and I've thought as well
that it might be a potential solution.
Ulrich will have to decide whether this is an approach he'd accept.
