I suspect you have something there: my manual page for sigaction(2)
says:

                    The execve(2) system call reinstates the default action
                    for all signals which were caught and resets all signals
                    to be caught on the user stack.  Ignored signals remain
                    ignored; the signal mask remains the same; signals that
                    restart pending system calls continue to do so.
