It is not the case that multiple threads are calling the destructor. It is the 
case that a thread joining (await) on the latch could then destroy the latch 
after it has joined. This condition can happen before the terminate(pid) in 
trigger() is fully completed. In this case terminate(pid) is called twice which 
can cause a segfault. The extra atomic check helps prevent the 2nd terminate.
