+Subject: [PATCH] Fix check_ipc tests so they exit correctly
+
+On some platforms the check_ipc test can fail due to SIGTERM
+being delivered to to exiting server process. There is a race
+condition between the server main loop quitting and the
+signal being delivered.
+
+This patch closes that race loophole in two places, firstly
+it makes SIGTERM/SIGSTOP exit immediately rather than just signalling
+the mainloop, secondly it calls exit() rather than return when the server
+mainloop completes to that the client code does not start executing!
