	Since there's really no reason for GCC to hang-around waiting
	for its children to terminate, it exits on the ^C.  Thus, its
	still running children (who might be in i/o wait and thus
	uninterruptable), are orphaned.  Orphans are made "wards of
	the state" (e.g.) init becomes their parent, so init gets the SIGCHLD....

	Hey, it's not a bug, it's a feature!!!!
