Why should it know this? It's not documented, not portable, and conflicts
with the way signals are documented to behave. This is a situation-specific
problem.

Fatal signals (signals whose default disposition is to exit the process)
are pretty much handled identically.

That suggests that the easiest way to solve the problem is to add a call
to exit() after the kill().
