In the apache 1.3.x on Linux that I am using, apache does send a SIGTERM when the Timeout value has reached. The code is here: apache_1.3.33/src/main/alloc.c:free_proc_chain() This is called from ap_clear_pool() which is done at the end of request cycle, or during hard timeouts. The logic here also covers runaway cgi apps. Didn't confirm if the same exists in apache 2x but I would be surprised if this functionality was removed.

As far as I know Apache doesn't send Sigterm to a running CGI. This has nothing to do with the Timeout directive. A couple of weeks ago I asked the opposite question: "How can I timeout a CGI that is hung/looping?" and the answer I got, from trusted sources was that it cannot be done with Apache alone, but would require an external monitor. Something else on your system is doing this.
