[Bug general/3639] fc6: testTerminateKillKILL(frysk.proc.TestTaskTerminateObserver)

Here's what's happening:

1. Wait.cxx:processStatus() decodes the waitpid status and if (WIFSTOPPED
(status) && (PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT ==  WSTOPEVENT (status))) it calls exitEvent()

2. LinuxPtraceHost.PollWaitOnSigChld.exitEvent() calls processTerminatingEvent()

3. Task.processTerminatingEvent() calls .handleTerminatingEvent()

4. LinuxPtraceTaskState.handleTerminatingEvent() calls notifyTerminating()

5. Task.notifyTerminating() calls updateTerminating()

6. TestTaskTerminateObserver. updateTerminating sets the int terminating value.

If, in Wait.cxx:processStatus(), status == 9,  (KILL), WIFSIGNALED (status) is
true rather than WIFSTOPPED (status), so none of the foregoing happens, causing
the test to fail.  What I don't know is if the process described above is in
fact what the programmer who wrote it intended and the test exercises conditions
that weren't meant to be exercised, or if the process described is flawed or
incomplete.
