I start thinking that sending HUP from init is a bug because:
1) It increase disk activity just before shutdown since all daemons
re-read their configs.
2) It cause redials for redial-able software as uucp (and ppp some time
ago).

If nobody will explain why this HUP is neded (hanging shells perfectly
killed by SIGKILL), I'll remove HUP sending from init.
