First, apologies for posting this kind of reply on the net; we have a
tiny /etc/hosts file....

Anyway...  The reason that ssignal won't vacate the loop is two-fold;

First, SIGINT isn't supported with ssignal under TC1.5.  They are 
thinking of getting rid of ssignal all together (not part of the ANSI
draft).  Instead, there is a function ctrlbrk() which does the same
thing for the SIGINT case.  Second, SIGINT would only be supported if
i/o was executed...  the program wouldn't ever 'see' the ^C.
