I don't doubt it.
Buy why use Ctrl-C?
It's like using the "X" button on a gnome WM decoration to maximize the
Window. It simpley makes no sense.
To you, perhaps. However, this sort of thing is fairly traditional behavior
in many unix programs -- stop what you're doing without killing the program.
Try this: run "bc", and type:
while (1) print "looping\n"
and hit enter. Then, hit ctrl-c.
