It gets even weirder: neither `kill -HUP`, nor `kill -INT` nor `kill
-TERM` with the PID of the shell have any influence on the script if
these signals are trapped. What does have an influence is a Ctrl-C
and `kill -KILL`.
The kill commands (except `kill -INT`) work immediately with bash
running the script.
