[syslog-ng] SEC and syslog-ng - stop the SEC process

[Martin Holste]

It looks to me like the term_handler sub is not getting invoked, or is
failing to transmit the $terminate variable to the child procs.  I've
seen Perl have iffy results with TERM handlers before, so I guess this
isn't too surprising.  POE does really good job of handling those, but
I've had bad luck with non-POE scripts handling TERM.  Suggestions are
welcome!
