Yes, but kill(SIGTERM) causes qemu proper to exit with status 0, because 
we handle the signal rather than letting it have default behavior or 
rethrowing it.

Eww. This is true if someone does SIGKILL, but not if someone does SIGTERM.

This is fine.

But this is bogus.  Sending SIGTERM does NOT cause WIFSIGNALED(); you'd 
be hard-pressed to get qemu to exit with WTERMSIG(wstatus) == SIGTERM.
