Ugh, I hate bugs that vanish like that ...

In that case, I think I shall just assume that this upstream fix will deal with it (it would at least have made that specific symptom go away), and not worry too much about the underlying cause. Thanks for trying.

        * lib/pipeline.c (pipeline_sigchld): assert is not
          async-signal-safe, so avoid calling it in a signal handler and use
          an if guard instead (Ubuntu bug #221635, although exactly why the
          assertion is failing there is unclear).
