In unconditional except clauses, don't catch KeyboardInterrupt -- it's

annoying that often you have to hit ^C numerous times before it
works.  The solution: before the "except:" clause, insert "except
KeyboardInterrupt: raise".  This propagates KeyboardInterrupt out,
stopping the test in its tracks.
