Usually, the source of such problems is someone using a bare try...except.
KeyboardInterrupt subclasses BaseException.  There is a subtle difference
between

try:
   foo()
except:
   pass

and

try:
    foo()
except Exception:
    pass

The first will capture Ctrl-C and throw it away, while the latter will
not.  PEP8 recommends against blind usage of bare except clauses.

Happy hunting!
