The problem is due to the inconsistent implementation of
select() in Windows socket library. The select() in Windows
socket never give us any chance to handle Ctrl-C event.

From the next release (1.4.6?), Ctrl-C event will be just
discarded and you can not kill svr.rb by Ctrl-C during the
select() or accept() is in operation.

Is this satisfactory for you ?
