That is fine, I'm just pointing out the possible reasons. Looking at
the output of the ps command may not tell the whole story, someone may
need to dig through the code.

I block SIGINT and SIGTERM in some of my own code to handle cleanup
when termination a threaded process. I test this code across all major
OSes including NetBSD and have not observed broken signal behavior.
However, as mentioned previously, I block those signals in main()
before creating worker threads, as recommended in "Programming with
POSIX Threads" by Butenhof.
