[PD-dev] SIGTERM and Pd

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Was this something that was fixed recently?  Last I checked on GNU/ 
Linux, Pd wasn't quitting on SIGTERM, I had to send SIGKILL.  It  
seems to work now, maybe it was due to some peculiarities.

Is there any harm to adding SIGTERM to trigger sys_exithandler()?
