Correct; I can tell from experience with pam_mount. GDM for example is
very unhappy if you fork/exit processes in PAM modules and don't hide
the fact by bending SIGCHLD from gdm_handler to mypam_handler (which
itself is racy, suppose GDM re-set the SIGCHLD handler midway through).
(In this particular case however, I'd prefer if login programs like GDM
just ignored any PIDs they did not spawn in the first place instead of
moaning around.)
