That's a good question - I just tried in a few shells in a few OSs and it
does seem to vary.  bash takes the EXIT trap.  real ksh does, pdksh doesn't.
Solaris and OpenServer sh do not.  By the plain language in man pages and
POLA, it seems to me that the shells that don't take the trap are buggy, but
they're widespread and probably not going to be fixed.  SUSv3 is amazingly
silent on the question.  Can you accomplish what you want by directly
trapping SIGINT also?
