Maybe catching the signal 'SIGINT' can help.

Define a dummy-function first, e.g.:

void SigDummy(int sig) {
    signal(sig, SigDummy); /* reinstall the handler */
}

And install the handler:

main() {
   ...
   signal(SIGINT, SigDummy);    // install a signal handler
   ...
}

Don't forget to include <signal.h>

Maybe there's a simpler way, but anyway, this should work.
