+/* NAME
+/*	killme_after 3
+/* SUMMARY
+/*	programmed death
+/* SYNOPSIS
+/*	#include <killme_after.h>
+/*
+/*	void	killme_after(seconds)
+/*	unsigned int seconds;
+/* DESCRIPTION
+/*	The killme_after() function does a best effort to terminate
+/*	the process after the specified time, should it still exist.
+/*	It is meant to be used in a signal handler, as an insurance
+/*	against getting stuck somewhere while preparing for exit.
+/* DIAGNOSTICS
+/*	None. This routine does a best effort, damn the torpedoes.
+/* LICENSE
+/* .ad
+/* .fi
+/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.

+     * 
+     * Undocumented: when a process runs with PID 1, Linux won't deliver a
+     * signal unless the process specifies a handler (i.e. SIG_DFL is treated
+     * as SIG_IGN). Conveniently, _exit() can be used directly as a signal
+     * handler. This changes the wait status that a parent would see, but in
+     * the case of "init" mode on Linux, no-one would care.
