You mean C-c doesn't work like elevator buttons? It wouldn't surprise me that I hit repeatedly. I certainly remember at least one case where it seemed like I was being ignored and hit C-c repeatedly. It's also quite possible that I logged out from ssh (with ~.), and I have no idea what signal (signals?) that ultimately sends. And, last night I sent KILL when I was convinced that I was being ignored and was about to restart the cluster anyway, for which I'd expect remnants. However, I'm certain of the observation that disk full led to remnants of a partial copy. That job was running in the background when I wasn't logged in.
