To all you folks who are struggling with signals: Good luck! and Thanks!
(Saves the rest of us a lot of work...)

Oh by the way, whatever you do for SIGINT/SIGQUIT, make sure the "right thing"
also happens for SIGHUP (carrier dropping on a serial port) or dialin shells
(and their children) won't get killed properly, and there will be a security
hole on dialin lines. (Also, SIGHUP has to be "catchable", so editors can
save their files when the line drops.)
