I have a feeling that it would be moving in a wrong direction to
change the code to ignore HUP, as I do think "logout to shutdown"
would be the desired behaviour.  If you are not seeing that happen,
perhaps the first thing to do is to figure out why and fix the code
so that it happens?

I dunno.  I'll cc Peff so that he can take a look when he comes
back.
