fair enough (tho some of the tests already do other fiddly logger/config
chmods related to not being root). While im working on that, another
review (to follow), to reinstate a fallback to SIGKILL when TERM doesnt
work

ps: qa/003 will need looking at in light of, eg, sample.darkness..
but i wont let that hold up the release. There'll no doubt be others tho..
