Make variables volatile ("sig_atomic_t" should cover "int" and "pid_t").

Also replace calls to functions that are not required to be async-signal-safe

interrupted thread keep the current calls safe.)

"checkpatch.pl" warned four times about "volatile", and considered the
zero-initialization of "no_shutdown" (which has static storage duration) an
error.

Build tested only. Please CC me on any followup, I'm not subscribed. Thank you.

I don't think you can rely on snprintf being signal safe. I think you should just exit on failure.

OpenBSD lists snprintf as signal safe, but "probably not on other systems."
