Thanks, I did not know about prctl. Perfect, though how it will behave
if there are children that were cloned with CLONE_VM and forked (cloned
without CLONE_VM). I think that the signal will be delivered to all of them.

How about an option to deliver signal only to children that were cloned only

with CLONE_VM?
