 If haskell program is forked in a toplevel hander that sends UserInterrupt
 in the main thread doesn't work, because Thread 1 doesn't exists in forked
 program, so that action is noop.

 Minimal example:

 {{{#!hs
 import Control.Concurrent
 import Control.Exception
 import System.Posix

 main = do
   pid <- forkProcess $ do
            handle (\UserInterrupt{} -> putStrLn "caught")
                   $ threadDelay 2000000
   signalProcess sigINT pid
   threadDelay 2000000
 }}}

 Expected result: "caught" printed to stdout.
 Actual result: nothing is printed.
