Interesting. This seems to demonstrate a need for file IO to handle
fatal signals, beyond just people wanting faster responses to kill -9.
Perhaps it's the case that fatal signals should always be handled, and
there should be no waiting primitives excluding them. __GFP_NOFAIL is
also "interesting."
