 While this does not matter for the signal disposition (libev never
 sets signals to C<SIG_IGN>, so handlers will be reset to C<SIG_DFL> on
 C<execve>), this matters for the signal mask: many programs do not expect

 This means that before calling C<exec> (from the child) you should reset
 the signal mask to whatever "default" you expect (all clear is a good
 choice usually).

+not guaranteed for future versions, however.
