According to [1], all python needs to do to avoid this problem is block all signals in all but the main thread; Argh, no: then people who call system() from non-main threads end up running subprocesses with all signals masked, which breaks other things in very mysterious ways. Been there...
Python should register a pthread_atfork handler then, which clears the signal mask. Would that not work?
