reassign 692295 erlang
retitle 692295 does not properly set up signal handling
severity 692295 important
tags 692295 + upstream
kthxbye

I am reassigning this bug report to the erlang package.

The actual problem is that the Erlang VM does not properly setup signal 
handling upon startup. What happens here is:

- - apt, when started, sets SIGHUP handling to SIG_IGN
- - apt passes this on to dpkg
- - dpkg starts couchdb, which starts beam, always passing on the SigIgn 
  mask

As I understand it, the Erlang program itself has no way of setting up 
signal handling because it can only register callbacks for signals with 
the Erlang VM. The Erlang VM thus should explicitly set its own handlers 
for signals and override the ignore mask it inherits.
