There's a bug here, definitely.  As it wasn't entirely clear to me what
the result of all those traps was going to be I actually tried it with a
simpler trap on SIGINT only.

That second catch-all attempt to read from the terminal if the first
attempt via select failed was always voodoo.  I've a vague feeling it
was inspired by playing around on an old SunOS system a good twenty
years ago.  I'm not sure if this particular cargo cult now needs to be
expunged.
