Ah.  So potentially we have an issue in all the background processes
that have copied-and-pasted that sigdelset call, which seems to be most
of them.

I'm inclined to think this does need to be fixed.  Even if it
accidentally works now, it seems fragile as can be; and certainly
it's underdocumented.
