I've seen this problem before. It seems to be that the 'scripting' shell
is too anxious to respond to the ^C, without realizing that the underlying
program might catch the ^C. It should presumably ensure that the program
has indeed exited before continuing. It's even easier to make it happen,
try
(vi;echo foo)
then hit ^C while in vi.
The reason that vi is eating cycles at a tremendous rate is probably that
it is getting EOFs or something by virtue of being unable to read the tty.
(Not the right pgrp?)
