Subject: WEBrick catching keyboard interrupts

Hi all,

I'm knocking up a few test scripts using WEBrick (on Ubuntu), and I'm 
constantly annoyed by the fact that hitting Ctrl-C doesn't kill it, but 
makes it print the following to the console:

[2006-10-05 09:43:48] ERROR Interrupt:
         /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:91:in `select'

I have to go to another console (or suspend it) and kill -9 the process. 
  How can I stop this from happening?  The code is very, very simple:

require 'xmlrpc/server'

class Server < XMLRPC::Server
   def initialize
     super(8080, '0.0.0.0', 1)
     self.add_handler('test.unit'){ 1 }
     self.serve
   end
end

Server.new

I'm sure there's a simple answer, but it eludes me...
