Normally, when a parent exits, all child processes are killed. This is not
specific to terminal/tty sessions. However, a process can be detached from its
parent so that it will survive the parent's exit. I doubt that NSTask does
this, but you should verify.
Create a dummy helper: int main() {while(1) sleep(1);}
Use NSTask to launch it. Kill your parent in various ways and verify that the
child gets killed: kill -9, call abort, crash it with the time-honored
*(char*)0 = 0.
