Hi possibly-interested souls,

In this patch to System.Process.readProcess from last year:

https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/changeset/b5ee908863882d18e4110d96b43ccc1bb5068ceb/process

Bas changed things so that if an async exception is received by the
thread calling readProcess (or readProcessWithExitCode) then the
external process gets forcibly terminated. I do mean forcibly, it's
TerminateProcess() on Windows and SIGKILL (not SIGTERM) on Unix.

The documentation says 'terminateProcess sends the process the SIGTERM signal'. Also it seems to agree with the implementation (cbits/runProcess.c:321).
