Ack. Except I'd rephrase that as "no restart" rather than "no handling".
We do end up handling the fatal signal, it's just that the handling
doesn't involve restarting, it just involves dying.
That said, I'll leave this to the usual channels, since it isn't
exactly the same kind of urgent fix that I picked up directly..
