I'm not sure, but there have been many enhancements to launchd between
10.4 and 10.5. SIGTERM is the appropriate signal for asking a POSIX
process to terminate gracefully -- indeed, how did the daemon ever
manage to exit gracefully under 10.4? Also, why does the rest of your
installation procedure fail when your daemon exits abruptly?
