When running the following program:

	int main(void)
	{
		int i;

		i = 5;

		while (i == 5) {
			;
		}

		return 0;
	}

pressing CTRL-C will abort it.

However, when running the following program:

	int main(void)
	{
		while (1) {
		}
	}

pressing CTRL-C has no effect.

Anyone have any idea as to the cause and how to get around it ?
