Hope this answers:
- the shell sends a SIGHUP to the program on shell termination, and if the program does not handle/ignore it, it kills the program (nohup avoids this)
- when the shell terminates (and the program set up to ignore the SIGHUP signal), the shell waits (in vain) for the program to terminate (the shell hangs instead of exiting) (nohup avoids this)

it doesn't. Wouldn't it be better for the terminal emulator to notify
its children that it is being closed? SIGHUP is used for this.
