This is the right way. Unless you call top_block.run(), you are
responsible for your own SIGINT handler.

This is an open bug (ticket #348), not your code. It's not clear yet
why it happens, but one theory is that we are shutting down the USRP
transmit pipeline before it has a chance to drain, and leaving a DC
value as input to the CORDIC, resulting in a carrier tone. Your
workaround is appropriate.
