Although not related to terminate question, let me ask another question
about sup-child linkeage:

If StartFunc defined in child spec calls gen_server:start, will supervisor
restart crashed instance of that child if permanent restart is specified in
the child spec?

http://www.erlang.org/doc/man/supervisor.html :
The start function *must create and link to* the child process

Yet it is possible to specify gs:start instead of gs:start_link. Would a
link still be created in this case?
