Subject: [PATCH] timeout: handle all terminating signals

* src/timeout.c (term_sig): A new global list of all signals
whose default disposition is to terminate the process.
(install_cleanup): Iterate over the TERM_SIG list, rather than
installing the handler for a specific subset.
(block_cleanup_and_chld): Likewise.
* tests/timeout/timeout.sh: Add a test case for SIGPIPE.
* NEWS: Mention the bug fix.

   This also applies to the sha*sum and b2sum utilities.
   [This bug was present in "the beginning".]
 
+  'timeout' will now propagate all terminating signals to the monitored command.
+  Previously 'timeout' could have exited and left the monitored command running.
+  [bug introduced with timeout in coreutils-7.0]
+
   wc now documents its --debug option, currently used to
   indicate the line count acceleration being used.
