FWIW the patch "umh: fix processed error when UMH_WAIT_PROC is used" was
dropped from linux-next for now as it was missing checking for signals.
I'll be open coding iall checks for each UMH_WAIT_PROC callers next. Its
not clear if this was the issue with this test case, but figured I'd let
you know.
