No, this is a feature of the signal handling in the library (it's 
documented in the library docs, in the node which describes the `signal' 
function): Ctrl-C does not generate the traceback.  It also calls `exit' 
instead of `_exit', so it goes through all the normal exit code, 
including closing files, flushing buffers, invoking all atexit functions, 
calling static destructors, etc.
