You forgot from where this thread started. I hacked on this because I was
annoyed by the behavior when I switched from linux netscape4 (which manages to
reread resolv.conf is a way or another) to native mozilla.
A web browser don't react the way you descrive to SIGHUP, and I don't expect
it to. For such a software, exiting gracefully on SIGUP is probably the right
thing.
