Hi Cyril,
I sent a v5 with changes based on your comments.

Is the reason it's blocking signals while reforking is due to the second
choice in https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/signal-safety.7.html? I'm
not familiar with signal handling.
```
Block signal delivery in the main program when calling
functions that are unsafe or operating on global data that is
also accessed by the signal handler.
```
Thanks,
Edward
