     I didn't know that tor could be so pokey about acknowledging input
from the control port, but I've noted here in the past that tor often
ignores a SIGHUP or SIGINT for a rather long period of time before finally
accepting it.  I've seen delays well over a minute and approaching two
minutes after sending tor either of those signals before it finally responds.
     Why?  I have no idea.  The only way I know of to see the delay time
is to watch the log file.
