Comment(by mikeperry):

 In fact, perhaps we should just make a separate ticket for hacking the bw
 auth parent to deal with this signal better. Unless an assert works on the
 TorCtl side (instead of os.kill()) to get us what we want (death from the
 child, and the parent just restarting a new one).
