Good to know, but I'd like to stick with 2.6.32 if possible.

Yes.

Sure, but it isn't me who sends the signals, but that who spawned
lxc-start.  I'd like to use lxc-start a wrapper, invisible to the parent
and the (jailed) child.  Of course I could hack around this by not
exec-ing lxc-start but keeping the shell around, trap all signals and
lxc-kill them forward.  But it's kind of ugly in my opinion.
