GNU/kFreeBSD people are (AFAICT) going to try and get an unofficial release out, so pushing a regression in their way doesn't look too good to me. Maybe using an #ifdef here to avoid killing the DHCP client on kfreebsd, and reinstating the previous codepath on linux would be an acceptable compromise until some evolved signal/process handling pops up (during the stretch release cycle)? (No idea about hurd; anyway, adding both porter lists to Cc.) Mraw, KiBi.
