jhb just committed a patch to -current that fixes a bug where a SIGPROF
timer (i.e. libc_r's thread scheduling signal) would continue to fire
in the client process after a fork.  You might want to check and see if
you can reproduce your bug with a new -current.  Your patch will still
be needed for 4.9, of course.
