Hrm. On MirBSD, INT ABRT and of course KILL terminate it. But
sleep is special anyway, even if you don’t get the shell builtin:
most implementations use a syscall that terminates on ALRM only,
and they set the signal mask otherwise.

I’ve learned to just use kill -ALRM (do not use numbers, they are
not portable, especially not on Linux) when dealing with sleep.
