Christian Helmuth f730a9c343 Linux: prevent zombie state for child processes
Setting the handler for SIGCHLD to SIG_IGN (ignore) informs the kernel
not to enter the zombie state: (man 2 wait)

  POSIX.1-2001 specifies that if the disposition of SIGCHLD is set to
  SIG_IGN or the SA_NOCLDWAIT flag is set for SIGCHLD (see
  sigaction(2)), then children that terminate do not become zombies
  [...]

Fixes #271.
