description:
If we are invoked with SIGCHLD ignored, we fail badly, as we assume
that we can always wait(2) for our children, and an ignored SIGCHLD
prevents that.   Recent versions of bash can be convinced (due to a
bug most likely) to invoke us that way.   Always return SIGCHLD to
SIG_DFL during init - we already prevent scripts from fiddling it.

All ash derived shells apparently have this problem (observed by
Martijn Dekker, and notified on the bash-bug list).  Actual issue
diagnosed by Harald van Dijk (same list).
