4/25    I need a way for a child thread to know that a parent
        has died. SIGCLD does the opposite, and I can't find the
        signal that does what I want. I ultimately would like my
        thread to die when my terminal is dead (ttyXX is unwrittable).
        \_ Use the uncle thread to inform the child thread.  Break the
           news gently, though.
