>Description:
Latest pkgsrc is installed.  Let's run this example in Linux shell (bash) and interrupt it:

while :; do date; sleep 1; done

Hitting Ctrl-C interrupts it.

Let's run this (uses tnftp):

while :; do rm welcome.msg; ftp ftp://ftp.uni-sofia.bg/welcome.msg; done

This time Ctrl-C doesn't help.

This behavious affects bmake fetch and is very inconvenient.

I've looked at the code and it seems that tnftp turns SIGINT into normal exit code (1).  I've run strace and shell receives SIGINT, but looking at exit code of exited child it just continues.
>How-To-Repeat:
On Linux shell, type this:

while :; do rm welcome.msg; ftp ftp://ftp.uni-sofia.bg/welcome.msg; done

Type Ctrl-C and the loop won't stop.

(If you press and hold Ctrl-C, you have a chance to catch a moment when ftp is not running and the loop will interrupt.)
>Fix:
In Single Unix Specification, exit codes greater that 128 shall be used when process is terminated by signal: see last paragraph in http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_08_02
