Forrtl indicates that your script is running a Fortran library or program. Remember that Python exceptions only apply during Python. If a Fortran DLL performs a divide-by-zero error, or accesses invalid memory, it will kill the interpreter instead of throwing a Python exception. With Compaq Visual Fortran, the Fortran library calls can kill your entire program if a function receives an invalid value. (Try raising a negative real number to a fractional exponent, for example.) I'd guess that the Fortran code is intercepting the CTRL-C signal and killing the running script. Without knowing anything about your script and the library calls it makes, I can't give you much advice. There may be little that you can do, especially if you don't have the Fortran source code in question and/or can't recompile it. Maybe someone with some Fortran/Python experience can assist you. --Jason -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
