> The patch to disable the ECL SIGCHLD handler is from #14055. We had a
very subtle race between a SIGCHLD and ECL's handler. When you move this
to ecl_set_option then you are booting up ECL with the SIGCHLD handler,
right?
Nope. `ecl_set_option` is called ''prior'' to `cl_boot`, which does all
ecl initialization. The fix on #14055 patched ECL to change the
''default'' value of the boot option. The inclusion of an explicit
`ecl_set_option` prior to `cl_boot` is the appropriate way of overriding
the default value and should be preferred over patching ecl.
