`SIGKILL` or `SIGHUP`, then its exit code will be `128` plus the
value of the signal code. This is a standard Unix practice, since

exit codes are defined to be 7-bit integers, and signal exits set
the high-order bit, and then contain the value of the signal code.
For example, signal `SIGABRT` has value `6`, so the expected exit
