Hmm, I think we should fix this in the harness if possible.
In run_test() it does:
/* Kill anything else in the process group that is still running */
kill(-pid, SIGTERM);
But that doesn't work if the harness has been killed with Ctrl-C.
I think the harness could have a SIGINT handler that basically does the
above and then exits?
cheers
