jacana hasn't passed this regression test yet, but at least that proves
the timeout stuff works ;-)

I think jacana's problem is simply that "kill QUIT" is never gonna work
on Windows, there being no such animal there.  It looks like "kill KILL"
doesn't work either, which surprises me slightly more but not much.
