[PD-dev] SIGTERM and Pd

Is there any reason why Pd does not respond to SIGTERM?  I just  
thought I'd ask before I add it.  It seems that oftentimes, Pd  
doesn't die like a regular process, and you have to use kill -KILL.   
I am guessing that is because it does not respond to SIGTERM, which  
is the POSIX signal for quitting.  (FYI: SIGQUIT is not actually for  
quitting the processing, but for triggering a core dump: http:// 
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGQUIT)
