I sometimes have problems interupting programs on linux. It appears
that when I hit control-c, the parent process gets the interrupt
signal, but not the child. Here are some examples: when I am running
make and I hit control-c, I get my shell prompt back but make
continues to run. example 2: I run xcomm and start up "term" on the
remote end, then type "$ term" from the xcomm command line to start
term locally. When I am done, I type control-c and get the xcomm
prompt back, but term is still running locally.
I am running linux 0.994.
