If e.g. a signal is being received while we are running fork(), the signal
thread may be having our SS lock when we make the space copy, and thus in the
child we can not take the SS lock any more.

(Building the petsc package consistently reproduces the issue several
times during the build, while I could build the package twice without
any issue with the patch applied).
