<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Clarification: The ^C was introduced long ago (~2years) into the code in order to avoid resource loss that happened in IBAL. Later it proved itself useful when the Gen1 was introduced. Today, I am not aware of any issue with resources leaks etc. So practically one could stop catching ^C and probably everything will work right in the OpenIB access layer. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Sorry about my improper misleading previous mail.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Thanks for the useful note. </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>We currently catch ^C for OpenSM and OSMV to cleanup resources that would be</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>lost or create kernel oops. I guess that in Windows environment this is not a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>must.</FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If you need to catch ctrl-C to prevent a kernel oops, then something is wrong</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with the implementation. I would think the same thing about cleanup.</FONT>
