Well, I still think this needs a separate change and discussion...

Let me repeat, I simply do not know if this is good or not, I don't know
if the current behaviour is by design or it is mistake.

OK, I won't argue but note that your patch doesn't really fix the problem,

because recalc_sigpending() will not notice the blocked multiprocess signal
if it is already pending.
