Customer Need/Problem
If SO/OOo is hung under Unix, you have only one chance to kill it properly (to
preserve work): you can send a SIGABRT or SIGSEGV to cause it to save files
that have been edited into the crash recovery area.

Product Requirement 
More obvious signal choice, and increased number of signals, to gracefully
terminate SO/OOo. First and foremost SIGHUP should cause this graceful
termination, as should other signals like SIGTERM and SIGQUIT.

Product Concept
1) The SO signal handling code needs to be fixed: a) for proper handling of
asynchronously delivered signals to a multithreaded process, and b) for proper
cooperation with an in-process Java Virtual Machine or other possibly
conflicting runtime environments.
2) The chosen graceful termination signals (HUP, QUIT, TERM) then need to be
propagated to and interpreted appropriately by the SO Application Framework.
