+ As of ERTS version 10.0 (OTP 21.0) the
+ <c>erl_child_setup</c> program, which creates port
+ programs, ignores <c>TERM</c> signals. This setting was
+ unintentionally inherited by port programs. Handling of
+ <c>TERM</c> signals in port programs has now been
+ restored to the default behavior. That is, terminate the
+ process.</p>

+ The fix made for OTP-15279 in erts-10.07 (OTP-21.0.8) was
+ not complete. It could cause a new connection attempt to
+ be incorrectly aborted in certain cases. This fix will
+ amend that flaw.</p>
