It'd be nice if that simply worked.  I think debugging with SIGUSR* is
important, so I've pushed a fix (and I'm closing this bug; if further
discussion is needed, feel free to revert and reopen).

Thanks!  Too bad we lost that backtrace, then.  If it happens again,
please let us know!

(I'm using magit, and I know it waits for subprocesses, so I'll go over
the SIGCHLD handling code to ensure we never drop one of them).
