Because, as I said, it is not in the list of 

     The following functions are either reentrant or not interruptible by
     signals and are async-signal safe.  Therefore applications may invoke
     them, without restriction, from signal-catching functions or from a child
     process after calling fork(2) in a multi-threaded process:

in the man page sigactio(2).
