I'm not aware of such a list and it would be OS-dependent anyway.

For example Privoxy returns with 15 if you shut it down by sending
SIGTERM and the OS uses signal 15 for SIGTERM. If a different signal
number is used for SIGTERM, the return code will be different, too.

Depending on the operating system Privoxy will also be terminated
after receiving a couple of other signal it doesn't explicitly
handle, for example SIGXCPU leads to return code 152 on my system.

In general the exit codes seem to be a bit of a mess to me,
and the fact that they aren't properly documented doesn't help.
