I have a comment about this.  I don't think it should be required that
the demo should run once and then quit.  Dealers like to see demos that
loop forever so they can leave them running on the machine.  RGB was
set up to run once and then quit (because it was in the contest rules)
but now we are trying to get everyone a version that loops because that's
what the stores want.  Having two versions out there is a pain. 

However I agree there should be some way to cause it to abort without
rebooting.

What's the definition of "arbitrarily" here?
