Should all children inherit it? One of the things that the Linux OOM 
Killer does is motivated by the idea that children processes are "more 
killable" than the main service processes that spawned them; on the 
presumption that the arrangement is going to be like an SSH daemon 
spawning per-connection children, in the commonest case.
