    # Workaround to make Sphinx die nicely:
    #   - PTY.spawn invokes bash -c under the covers
    #   - Which turns SIGTERM into SIGHUP (not sure exactly why, can't seem to find a reason)
    #   - Which sphinx interprets as a reload instead of a quit
    #   - So, we need to remap HUP to KILL for the purposes of this script.
