Julia 1.6.3 handled SIGTERMs nicely, so Ctrl+C worked like expected. However, Julia 1.7.0 ignores these signals. To reproduce simply start two Julia-processes with the two versions and call `pkill julia` (where `pkill` is supported of course)
Is this expected? Ctrl+C seems to be a pretty default way to cancel a process so it’s a bit weird that this is not respected…
Edit: I must correct: SIGTERMs are not ignored in 1.7.0 but it breaks the runtime… So the Julia-REPL with 1.7.0 hangs itself when calling `pkill julia`
Edit 2: Ctrl+C sends SIGINTs and not SIGTERMs. However, behavior is the same

I can repro this. `master` works fine though.

I tried it with the [[64-bit (glibc)]](https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.7/julia-1.7.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz)… Isn’t that `master`?

No, that’s the 1.7 release. `SIGTERM` works fine with a source build on commit `73f46aa290` (which is what I had lying around already).

Oh I see… Should I open an issue on the repo? Or probably it will be fixed anyway, if it is in the latest commit, right?

There’s already an [issue](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/43103) open regarding this.

This should be fixed in the next point release of Julia 1.7.

Nice, thanks!
