It is and in those cases we do not ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT in the parent when we fork the subprocess. What I was trying to say is that in the few cases where we do ignore SIGINT and SIGQUIT in the parent when we fork a subprocess we're working round the child being in the same process group at the parent.
