Terminating nix-index does not terminate the child nix-env process #124

Open xeals opened 4 years ago

nix-index was having issues indexing my overlays, causing RAM usage to spiral out of control. CTRL-C'ing nix-index makes it stop seemingly gracefully, but the nix-env process it spawns as part of indexing doesn't die with it. This goes against my expectations as a user.
