Comment(by felix):

 Thanks for the information. I have no idea why this hangs. If the process
 is still running, we could send a SIGTERM, which should trigger the "fini"
 function in the child process.

 It *might* be possible that the child process gets delayed somehow - the
 signal handlers are established after setting up of the thread and
 *perhaps* the parent process sends the termination signal before the
 handlers are installed (that would be very curious indeed, but perhaps...
 on a heavily loaded machine... I don't know).

 I'll run a slightly modified test (diff attached) repeatedly, now.
