   I'm always allowing for others knowing more/different stuff than me, but I   
   do program on Windows and can't remember having ever seen them.  Which is   
   why I snipped them (iow, nothing nefarious).

   More than two methods. On Windows the /F doesn't translate to a signal, but   
   just kicks the program outof memory (TerminateProcess) using some harsh   
   methods - AFAIK the same way kill -9 on Linux does it.
