True, this needs more work, but bug 14665 is still open.

Yes, that should get fixed too.  That's part of why I was trying to get the
dyninst notification FD working (currently #if 0 in mutator::run) so we could
have a proper wait loop and break out in different ways, but it was failing for
me.

I was trying to be clever and give it a way out when truly stuck.  Like:
- 1st signal: pass the signal to the app and try to wait for it.
- 2nd signal: forget about the app, it's stuck, so just cleanup and quit.
- more signals: we must be stuck too, _exit().

But what happens here is the terminal CTRL-C gets sent to the whole process
group, including stap and stapdyn.  Then stap sends a signal to stapdyn too, so
now it has seen two.

So, this probably needs to be more clever.  Or less clever.  Suggestions
welcome.
