Shiva Upreti needs to post the current code, but last time I read it
the problem was that control-C is a KeyboardInterrupt, which the
program was catching, and then continuing the loop.

Indeed.

C makes it easy for you to shoot yourself in the foot.  C++ makes that
harder, but when you do, it blows away your whole leg.
