execsigs() only resets caught signals, so the garbage lives at least a
little longer if happened to set to SIG_IGN.  For the same reason, we
can't depend on execsigs() changing SIG_IGN to SIG_DFL for the parent.

I think the stack garbage is always 0 on i386 (since we're in main()
and have barely used the stack), and SIG_DFL happens to be 0, so the
contents of the garbage is probably correct for setting the signal to
SIG_DFL except it doesn't have SA_RESTART set.
