It happened when i tried to Ctrl-C the compile job as well:

Thu Mar 26 11:04:05 CET 2009
Thu Mar 26 11:06:30 CET 2009
^CThu Mar 26 11:07:55 CET 2009
^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^Caldebaran:/home/mingo/linux/linux> 

a single Ctrl-C is rarely enough to stop busy Bash shell scripts on 
Linux. Why?
