Or SIGHUP?  I'm not sure what is correct.

SIGQUIT is meant to terminate and dump core, so that core is inspected 
for errors.  Perhaps we don't want to clean up drivers' state?

SIGHUP is for terminal hang-up, so we want to clean up state.

Looking at the list of signals, these 4 seems to be the only 
user-controlled signals of interest.
