Bug description:  proc_terminate does not really kill terminate the process

Description:
------------
I am using PHP5.1.0b1

As per the documentation, proc_terminate should send the process started
by proc_open a specified signal. However, practically speaking, it
actually sends the signal to the shell (/bin/sh) process and not to the
process that was started by the shell.

This usually causes a problem since the signal never reaches the actual
process and hence it never terminates (i.e. or receives the signal).

For example, when sending the SIGTERM to a process started by proc_open,
only the /bin/sh process terminates while the main process (tcpdump in my
case) never terminates.

I am using pipes to communicate to the process.

Not needed.
