I haven't actually verified that as such. The main gripe I had at the  
time wasn't the signalling as such but that it was complaining when  
the process wasn't running. Skipping the signalling doesn't help much  
if it still complains and returns with an error code - though I guess  
it's subject to some debate how exactly it *should* behave with the -f  
flag.

Thanks for giving this issue attention at all :)
