No. But if you are the programmer who sets the action for
SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN, disregarding the POSIX warnings, then
you are responsible for what the program does. One way of
making everybody happy would be to set the action for
SIGCHLD back to SIG_DFL after the fork but before the exec
of any child.
