Having Exim include such a signal handler would give you a good opportunity
to clean up from failed local_scans and announce them.

Naturally, no one would put a broken local_scan() into production [ ;-) ],
but it would certainly help on the sandbox machines used for testing new
Exim configurations.

By the way, I found your recent proof that 13 is indeed unlucky rather
clever. ;-)
