Hi,
the below script behaves strangely when CTRL-C is pressed. Each CTRL-C doubles
the running subshells(?). Pressing CTRL-C longer (1-2 secs) will quickly make
small devices unusable (fork failed etc.). When registering a trap handler
everything is fine but I think the default handler for SIGINT should just abort
the whole script. See:

$ /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh

(other term) $ ps ax|grep script.sh
3896 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh

$ /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh
^C

(other term) $ ps ax|grep script.sh
3896 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh
3930 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh

$ /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh
^C^C

(other term) $ ps ax|grep test
3896 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh
3930 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh
4627 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh
4628 pts/7    S+     0:00 /home/rwa/busybox-1.13.3/ash script.sh

The script:

func () {
    sleep 1
}

while (true); do
    func
done
