See mimedefang-multiplexor.c: - When a child exits, the SIGCHLD handler "childHandler" is called. - This function writes a bite to the pipe "Pipe" - Which should make the other end readable, so in the main event loop, "handlePipe" eventually gets called. - And inside handlePipe, if there are any reaps pending, then reapTerminatedSlaves gets called. The flow is a little confusing because it's all event-driven and wrapped around a big select() loop. The only way I can see signals being missed is if sigprocmask isn't working properly on NetBSD. There's a small critical section inside handlePipe during which signals need to be blocked temporarily.
