What signal should the timeout program send to the child process when
it gets a SIGTERM?

The timeout in coreutils does not do the same as timeout from tct.
tct-timeout sends the signal it was instructed to send on timeout,
coreutils-timeout sends the signal it received.

I like the tct behaviour as that makes it easy to send a SIGKILL, is
there a chance that you could change timeout in coreutils to do it
like that?
