Here's a transcript.  x1 is your script, modified to print its pid to make
killing it easier, and with the addition of `echo HUP' to the SIGHUP signal
handler.  I used bash-4.2, bash-4.1.7, and bash-4.1.9.

Have you tried opening a bug report with Red Hat?  Vendors have been known
to make their own changes to a package.
