The loop is continuing but stdin/stdout/stderr have been closed.  I will
change this to flushing stdin/stdout/stderr and closing the others.

Adding a Process>>#update: message like this (and calling it in the
program) fixes it, I will also do it.

   Process extend [
       update: aSymbol [
           aSymbol == #aboutToQuit ifTrue: [ self terminate ]
       ]

       terminateOnQuit [
           ObjectMemory addDependent: self
       ]
   ]

The default behavior however is not going to change for backwards
compatibility.

Thanks!
