Thanks Fantomas, this is what i would expect and it seems what
happens... spamd childs get the SIGNAL and act accordingly, but for

Not really 'IGNORE' perhaps; they could be in an uninterruptible sleep
state such as blocked waiting on synchronous I/O. For some filesystems
on some kernels (e.g. Solaris NFS) it is possible for a mount to go bad
in such a way that any process trying to do anything with it gets stuck.
