I would like to see that patch go in, but without actually running it
and testing it.  I really did not want to comment on it.  Same is true
about SIGHUP.

However, there are more people than me on this list that are in far better
positions for testing (for at least the next month or two).  So it is very
sad that no one had bothered to comment on it.
