Subject: SIGINT pending no matter what!

The program below produces the following output:

 $ ./a
 Interrupt!
 Done.
 $

pending_signals is set to 4 (reading the sigismember() sources and   
sys/signal.h, this is SIGINT) whether I touch the keyboard or not.

It works as expected on SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-08 sun4u sparc   
SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise

Huh?  (B19 + coolview + EGCS 1.0.2 + binary mounts).

(BTW, clock() is returning rubbish, so I'm using GetTickCount() for now)
