You're partially correct. Here's whatz happening:
worker.c: child_main() invokes apr_setup_signal_thread()
signals.c: apr_setup_signal_thread()
-> sigfillset(&sig_mask);
remove_sync_sigs(&sig_mask);
sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, &sig_mask, NULL)
-> Thus disabling the delivery of async signals to the process
mod_cgi comes along, forks a child process and happily inherits the signal mask from
the parent (the only thing apr_proc_create() does is to change SIGCHLD to default
behaviour).
