With strace, it looks like CVS sets SIG_IGN as the handler of
SIGINT and SIGQUIT only in the parent process after forking, not
in the child process that executes the editor.

CVS also temporarily blocks signals by calling sigprocmask, but
it undoes that before it forks or waits for the child process.

This emulates what system(3) does.
