Try
ffmpeg -i udp://127.0.0.1:10000
without directing any traffic to this local udp port. Then try
terminating it with Ctrl+C.
It will ignore 3 strikes, then it'll shut in hard way on 4th, because
signal hander calls exit() in this case.

BTW there's sth strange with number of strikes, because patched
version reacts to _second_ strike. Also normally-going transcoding
terminates only after second strike.
