+// same time we do. Most of the time this means we just need to ignore the signal and we'll
+// just see errors from all of our subprocesses. But in case that fails, when we get a signal:
+//
+//   1. Wait two seconds to exit normally.
+//   2. Call cancel() which is normally the cancellation of a Context. This will send a SIGKILL
+//      to any subprocesses attached to that context.
+//   3. Wait two seconds to exit normally.
+//   4. Call cleanup() to close the log/trace buffers, then panic.
+//   5. If another two seconds passes (if cleanup got stuck, etc), then panic.
