This is how the code used to read, before I added the do-nothing signal
handler as a result of

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2013-02/msg00020.html

There is another way to do it by blocking signals, and a comment in the
code indicates that I considered using it for SIGTERM at the time.

Ignoring the signal is what caused the race condition in the first place.
