#if 0
When I compile this program with:
    icc /B"/st:0x08000" /Sm getch.c
and run it with:
    getch
It works OK unless I type a Ctrl-C.

If I type a Ctrl-C the program locks up and ignores all
other characters, and I can not get rid of the program.

I do not care if getch() returns the control-c to me or not,
but I do not want it to hang.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

        int c;
        
        argc = argc;
        argv = argv;
        
        printf( "Please press a key>");
        fflush( stdout);
        c = getch();
        printf( "\n" "thanks for the 0x%02X.\n", c);
        return 0;
}
