There is also a SIGABRT issued as well.  See comments from Bug 375171
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375171#c2.  Perhaps there are
several bugs that should be consolidated to remove duplicates: 375171, 352861
just to point out a few.

This should be fixed in rawhide.  Thanks for the bug report.
