this is part of a chain of other related issues. the interesting thing in the patch in here is the potential feature to have send_signal/terminate/kill be able to optionally kill a process group. the logic as is in the patch in this issue is dangerous as often the calling process _is_ the pgrp leader and would be killed. we _never_ want the subprocess signaling methods to kill the current process as that would be surprising to users.
