Possibly, but changes to signal handlers are pretty global and can
sometimes have surprising side effects. I'm all in favor of someone
reviewing the patch - any volunteers? One case to test might be
reading input from a file that contains \! escapes. More generally,
we need to consider every way that psql can get SIGCHLD and think
about whether this is the right behavior.
