Thanks for the quick reply. No-op is a good trick to remember. I was just
thinking that if I did

(define (wait-for-child-process pid)
  signals-reinitializer
  ...)

the variable reference might get removed.

However, in this case a ton of signals-related procedures in the POSIX
module would need this treatment. I think Mike would want to use some other
solution.
