Thanks for your report. This is due to a decompression process being started earlier than it strictly needs to be, and SIGINT is ignored while subprocesses are running because that's what you want for things like pagers. I rearranged things somewhat to avoid this problem. (This was while on the train, so I haven't checked it in yet, but it will land in 2.5.1.) I'm not terribly happy with the elegance of this rearrangement, so I will probably revisit this later. Perhaps the right answer is to add a facility to avoid ignoring SIGINT and use it for decompression processes, since they aren't expected to be interactive.
