<pre>signal(7) is probably out of date, see
<a href="https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4737">https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4737</a> and
<a href="https://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_446.txt">https://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_446.txt</a>
Although I guess the removal of fork() from the async-signal-safe list and the
addition of posix_spawn() may not be fully ratified yet.
On the other hand, glibc can deadlock if you do it.</pre>
