Cleaned up so it compiles and the tests run properly again. But
playing whack-a-mole with signals seems kinda fragile. I was
pointed
to this patchset by another dev on #xfs overnight who saw the same
hangs that also fixed the hang:

It seems sane to me - exit if there's a fatal signal, or doing core
dump. Don't think there should be other conditions.

It was posted about a month ago and I don't see any response to it
on the lists...

That's been a long discussion, but it's a different topic really. Yes
it's signals, but it's not this particular issue. It'll happen to
work
around this issue, as it cancels everything post core dumping.

I am glad to see that my patch is still on your radar.

I was starting to wonder if it did somehow slip in a floor crack or if
I did omit to do something justifying that noone is reviewing it.

I guess that everyone has been crazy busy like mad men in the last few
weeks...
