stest: If one of our secnets dies, call the test a failure
This involves use of TclX's `signal' facility. In my tests it was
easy to make Tcl deadlock by doing too much work in the signal
handler. In particular reaping children is a bad idea. Also signals
are not blocked during the signal handler so it would have to be
reentrant.
Instead, use `after idle'. That is quite soon enough for the reap to
run, and in my tests with TclX 8.4 it all works properly.
