It's not really a problem specific to cleanups: if the child was doing any pool operation (be that allocation, destruction, etc) when the SIGTERM arrives, it could also die horribly. The undocumented assumption is just that most use of APR from a signal handler is totally unreliable. (I do like Colm's proposal, BTW, I'll follow up on that post) joe
