Well, the process will receive SIGTERM, and the documentation (which you
can  find here:  http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html  ) says  this
about SIGTERM:

  If multilog receives a TERM signal,  it will read and process data
  until the next newline, and then  exit, leaving stdin at the first
  byte of data it has not processed.
