I've got a program that does a fork; the parent then returns, while
the child sits in an infinite sleep/work loop.  I'd like this
process to disappear when I logout, but somehow, the SIGHUP signal
I was hoping it would get never seems to arrive.  Whether or not
I try to play with signals, the process does not want to disappear
on its own.  I'm running on 4.1bsd, with the C shell, if that makes
a difference.  Can any "signal hackers" out there shed some light?
