It seems to me that John only kills its children when ascii code 3 ( CTRL-c) or 'q'. is pushed on the keyboard, not with signals. I looked at the code in "signal.c" of JtR and it seems to be consistent with my tests. So I thought of 3 ways to solve this:
This is not good news.

Solar, Frank, Aleksey?

We have access to the main process id in Johnny but not the children, so we could get them with a command like "ps h --ppid XXX -o pid", where XXX egals the pid of the main john. After that, i'll kill(xxx,SIGTERM); Cons : It doesn't have to work on windows because JtR doesnt support fork on windows but I'm not sure it's gonna work on all flavor of linux, it might only works on Unix based. There might be another command that works for all linux. http://superuser.com/questions/286219/unix-list-children-processes-for-a-given-pid <http://superuser.com/questions/286219/unix-list-children-processes-for-a-given-pid>
I don't like this approach and I'd much rather have Johnny work only with a useful JtR version than with loads of hacks upon loads of hacks.

So I guess that you had problem in the past with the write method, do you remember if it worked ?

This might be speculation but I'd like some answers to these two doubts of mine:
1. Is JtR stdin expected as a tty and has code in that regards?
2. Does JtR flush stdout after writing important stuff?(i.e. like a line of status upon request)
