  We are running 386BSD with the latest patchkit installed and
we have program which sits in a select call waiting for imformation
from the com port or from a socket.

If the user presses control-c from the terminal he is running this
program from(console or xterm, or network) the machine just
reboots.  I tried compiling a DDB kernel but the machine doesn't even
drop into the kernel, it just reboots.

Anyone have any hints on how to fix this feature?
