To answer this, i tried to CONTINUE and it picked up where it stopped,
including telnet session ... i'm kinda puzzled as to how this could ever
work :) I stopped it again during make install for tk just to try this
CONTINUE thingy :)

Another question i thought of, at the risk of sounding silly: is this
break to console thing handled by some interrupt or something ?
Shouldn't OS be able to hook that interrupt and prevent this behavior if
that is the case ?

And last one for today: there is a VS 4k/90a on eBay with zero bids;
assuming reserve = minimum bid it would cost me ~$170-200 shipped, is
that a reasonable price for stripped box like that ?
