I expected the code to be symmetrical but found that the signal
handler is registered by parent, but unregistered by both the parent
and the child. Could signal_handler_unregister() be moved to the
parent portion of the "if" statement above?

Please do not use generic "out1" and "out2" goto labels. Could
you please change them to reflect what is done at that exit?
You could keep "out" but "out2" could be renamed to "unregister"
or something more appropriate.
