@hermine.potter:

My mame 0.185 doesn't react to a normal TERM signal, e.g. "kill $(pidof mame)". Only the KILL signal ends the mame process, e.g. "kill -KILL $(pidof mame)". Thus, in case AM tries to end mame with TERM, it won't work because of mame ignoring it. To my knowledge, this is not a typical behaviour for a Linux program. Most react to TERM with termination.

Could you test it with other emulators?

And how does one report those issues to the AM developers?

Then it may be caused by mame's unwillingness to be terminated on Linux.  :P
