JuliaLang/julia — Issue #538: Julia scripts do not respond to ctrl-c

Run a trivial long running script such as
./julia -e while true; print ("x"); end

pressing ctrl-c on the console has no effect. The only way to stop a runaway program is to ctrl-z, and then kill -9 [PID]

Same behaviour if the code is in a script. While I can understand why the REPL does not respond to ctrl-c, standalone scripts should.
