This has always annoyed me: it prevents child processes from using
atexit() as well. Aren't there ways to do e.g. s.th. like atexit_clear()
after a fork()? I don't want to have to do this:

--------8<--------
[...]
fork();
[...]
my_atexit(some_func);
[...]
my_atexit_schedule();
_exit(0);
[...]
--------8<--------
