- We are having a good deal
- of trouble with them being left running instead of dying and killing
- the load here.

- The problem is that people are setting a flag in their lisp init files
- which instruct lisp to ignore 'end of file' (much like the c shell).
- If a connection is broken (ipc connection breaks or modem hangs up), then
- lisp is sent a hangup signal (which it ignores) and then a continuous
- sequence of 'end of files' which it ignores after a bit of processing.
- The solution is this:
- If you have something in your init file which instructs lisp to ignore
- end of files (such as (sstatus ignoreeof t)), then you should also
- have (signal 1 'exit) in the init file so lisp will exit upon a hangup.
