Hi,
mcron running on top of Guile 3.0.2 occasionally gets stuck right before
fork while shutting down the finalization thread:

This reminds me of https://issues.guix.info/31925 and more recently
this issue Mathieu reported: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/41948.
It could be that Guile still has troubles shutting down the finalization
thread.
