So that used to work. And note that if you take out the signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN) from the proglet, it will actually propagate the SIGINT and work as expected. So its only because perf handles SIGINT -- to be able to finish the stat/data record, that it doesn't. Which is why I propagated the signal the child got killed with. Now apparently someone broke that again.
