Thanks. Going forward, please don't use any pastebins and such (with
the only exception being GitHub, which we currently use anyway).
Instead, please just attach patches, command output, etc. to messages.

It did have side-effects. (And it deviated from the coding style we use
in JtR.) Here's a more elaborate patch I committed:
"Forward SIGTERM to --fork'ed children, with a twist as explained in the added
comments. Thanks to Mathieu Laprise for noticing that this was missing."

Thank you, and I'm sorry for telling you that this functionality was
already in there - I genuinely thought so, misguided by the fact that
normally SIGINT is sent to all processes on the tty.
Now the tricky part: handling of older versions of JtR (before this
patch) in Johnny. How do you determine which processes to send the
signal to? One idea is to create a separate process group for each
invocation of JtR. See setsid(2) and this feature of kill(2):
"If pid is less than -1, then sig is sent to every process in the
process group whose ID is -pid."
That was Linux man page. POSIX:
"If pid is negative, but not -1, sig shall be sent to all processes
(excluding an unspecified set of system processes) whose process group
ID is equal to the absolute value of pid, and for which the process has
permission to send a signal."
