I would agree that this seems the likely cause.

No, the SIGTERM handler doesn't appear to do what I thought it would, so
it's already been removed from ViewVC's trunk code.

Not really -- not today.  ViewVC could probably stand to have a pair of
configuration switches, something like the following:

  # show links to content views (markup, annotate, diff) for files which
  # not human-readable (so-called binary files)?
  view_binary_files = 1

  # list of MIME content types (with support for fnmatch-style glob
  # characters) which are considered human-readable.
  viewable_mime_types = text/*, application/xml

What do you think?  Do you suspect that this would meet your need?
