Hi all, I've found a case where `timeout` in busybox (as found in the Alpine container image) doesn't kill processes that I'd expect it to. This is, at minimum, a notable difference from the `timeout` command in GNU coreutils, and possibly a bug.
A minimal reproducer: Spawn an alpine container, apk add python3, then run: timeout 2 python3 -c 'import subprocess; subprocess.run(["cat"])'; ps ax Note that "cat" still appears in the output, even though the parent Python process was killed. Installing GNU coreutils, or doing the above on a container/host with GNU coreutils preinstalled kills both processes (cat and python3). Is this intentional behavior, and if not, is there a better place to file a bug report?
