Message:

Assign all watched signals to a dummy no-op disposition

Otherwise some (namely SIGWINCH) may have SIG_DFL = SIG_IGN. This means
that the signal is ignored if the signal thread is in the middle of
processing another signal (a race condition), and on Solaris it's not
delivered at all.

Also more consistently consider errors in setup here fatal. And rename
CHECK_RESULT to OR_DIE.
