Fixes #7243
I thought about many ways to fix the race condition in this spec... I think the only safe alternative is to use a channel and send that over to the signal handler. If the handler runs before we send the channel, it will wait. If it runs later, the process will be already finished.
The only problem with this spec is that if the CHLD handler doesn't run for some reason (bug) then the spec will wait forever in
chan.send
because nobody will consume it. However, given that everything is working well now I don't this as a big problem, plus signal handling code doesn't change that frequently.
