This actually breaks other debugging as now debuggers or other processes using 
procfs/ptrace to catch signals can no longer see ignored signals or 
SIGSTOP/SIGCONT.  The latter breaks strace when execing a new child process 
as it opens a race where the child process hangs because the parent doesn't 
ever see that the child process has stopped itself with SIGSTOP (the parent 
resumes it with SIGCONT when it sees that).  The signal shouldn't make it to 
the target thread if it is ignored, but the process should be stopped and the 
debugger notified of all signals.
