This time cc'ing the people who signed-off-by the buggy commit.

Before commit 02c4bdf1d2ca signal handling in qemu-system-sh4 with
serial console on stdin/stdout worked properly, as in ctrl-c would kill
the shell, not the emulator. After that commit, ctrl-c kills the
emulator, not the shell.

You can test this by grabbing the tarball in the first line above, and
runnign the run-emulator.sh script, which is just:

qemu-system-sh4 -M r2d -nographic -no-reboot -kernel zImage -hda hda.sqf
-append "root=/dev/sda rw init=/sbin/init.sh panic=1 PATH=/bin:/sbin
console=ttySC1 noiotrap HOST=sh4" -monitor null -serial null -serial stdio

Again, this worked before the above commit, and has been consistently
broken since that commit.
