Summary0012038: SIGKILL sent when process times out
Descriptionwhen a test process times out, ctest sends a SIGSTOP followed by a SIGKILL to terminate the process. this is a bit harsh, since the process will not be able to clean up resources like lock files, hence making following test potentially fail when trying to acquire said resources.

it would be way more graceful to first send a SIGTERM, giving the process some time to reminate sensibly, and then send a SIGKILL after some time in case the process really insist on continuing to run

or replace SIGKILL completely with SIGTERM (that's what i've done using a patch on my cmake checkout)

When a test times out that means it is misbehaving. The parent process wants it to just be gone.

Tests should be written to run with a state that is as local as possible so that it can always be reset when the tests start again.
