If we fail to go back to the default handler, then we just get the
behavior we currently have. I am not sure logging a message like "Failed
to restore default SIGINT handler" is that useful to the user. It isn't
actionable, and at the end of the day isn't going to affect them for the
most part. They also aren't even aware that default handler was ever
overridden in the first place. I'm more than happy to add a debug log if
it is the blocker to getting this patch accepted however.
