[snip problems with exit_signal = -1]

I was wrong. I appear to have confused the thread and the non-thread
cases.

Perhaps I meant "args->exit_signal = 0". That looks like
do_notify_parent won't send it, and thread_group_leader continues to do
the right thing.

Baring any additional confusion on my part that cleanly solves the
problem of how not to send a signal from a child process cleanly.

My apologies for sending you on a wild goose chase.

Eric
