Summary:                    SIGKILL sent when process times out
Description: 
when 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
