--- Comment #2 from Nicholas Miell <nmiell at gmail.com> ---
signal(7) is probably out of date, see
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4737 and
https://www.opengroup.org/austin/docs/austin_446.txt

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.
