I wouldn't read too much into that; the program was interrupted, 
after all, so there's no reason to assume that it didn't catch 
the interrupt while in the process of moving from one consistent 
state to another.

It would be nice to let it run to completion, but of course 
there's a limit on how long I'm prepared to wait for nothing to 
happen.
