I just triple-checked.

This only happens when abcde doesn't have a foreground process spawned (for
example, the gap between reading the last track and encoding the next
track). When that happens, the subshell used on lines 966-1010 recieves the
^C, exits without error, and the parent shell continues on line 1011, which
is the final cleanup.

Working around this should be relatively easy, trap HUP INT QUIT TERM and
then kill -INT the parent PID. (which I will deftly export prior to line
966...) I'll probably do that in 1.9.7.
