The terminate is only invoked, if the user calls terminte explicitly.
 From my understanding it's an unconditional exit, so it would be 
equivalent to kill -9. We have kill(pid, SIGKILL) on the posix side, so 
this makes sense. I don't know if one could implement it any other way 
without gettint to system-specific.
