Workaround for hanging shells on exit

[Damien Miller]

While browsing through bash's hugh manpage, I noticed that it has a 
'huponexit' option which will send SIGHUP to all interactive processes
when the shell exits.

I have tested this and it does resolve the hanging at logout without
causing race conditions. I now have a "shopt -s huponexit" in my 
/etc/bashrc and it works beautifully.
