Hey.


This time I've also checked the 9.0 documentation (hopefully I wasn't
just too blind).


I noticed that whenever --foreround is used, timeout exits with a 124
status (instead of the documented 128+9) regardless of whether the KILL
is sent because of --signal=KILL or --kill-after=n .


Thanks,
Chris.

btw: I'm sill on Debian sid's 8.32 version of coreutils.
