Oh.  This is being ptraced as part of the test?

Yes.  The signal started being delivered.  As far as that goes that
sounds correct.

Ptrace is allowed to intercept even fatal signals.  Everything except
SIGKILL.

Is this a condition we don't want even ptrace to be able to catch?

I think we can arrange it so that even ptrace can't intercept this
signal.  I need to sit this problem on the back burner for a few
minutes.  It is an angle I had not considered.

Is it a problem that the debugger can see the signal if the process does
not?
