void sigINT_handler1 (int sig_i)
{
  fprintf (stderr, "sigINT_handler1: pid#%d ignores a signal %d\n", getpid(), sig_i);
  signal (SIGINT, sigINT_handler1);
}

void sigINT_handler2 (int sig_i)
{
  fprintf (stderr, "sigINT_handler2: pid#%d ignores a signal %d\n", getpid(), sig_i);
  signal (SIGINT, sigINT_handler2);
}

int main()
// fragments of code
{
  sigINT_handler1 (SIGINT);

  if (fork() > 0)  // Parent
  {
    // Stuff
    waitpid (pid, &status, 0);
  }
  else  // Child
  {
    sigINT_handler2 (SIGINT);
    execvp (<args>);
  }
}

Parent catchs SIGINT via sigINT_handler1,
but Child doesn't catch SIGINT via sigINT_handler2.

How can Child catch SIGINT with its own signal handler?
