The problem mentioned in the previous article about "vmshow" can
get real nasty.  I changed it myself (I'm the guy that wrote the beast)
by simply commenting out all the catch stuff for SIGQUIT.  There seems
to be a race condition, where if you give it a control-C, it ignores
it, AND any subsequent ones.  So if you have vmshow, comment
out the lines saying "sigset(SIGQUIT,cleanup)" and similar things;
or do as the previous article suggests, and change the sigignore
in cleanup() to sigrelse.
