I don't see how that's cheating.  In fact, if you need to cleanup connections,
catching the signal is EXACTLY what you ought to do.  Just bear in mind that
as soon as you get a signal, the current version of AGI will stop interacting
with your script.

This has been changed for the next release cycle, so AGI will transparently
switch over to what is now DeadAGI behavior (after sending a HUP) and continue
to interact with the script until the script dies (which is what most people
wanted anyway).
