I understand this quite well.

The previous driver would stop by typing a CTRL-C when 
running interactively in debug mode. The new driver will not 
respond to a CTRL-C. It does not respond to a "kill -1", 
"kill -2" or a "kill -15" either (Which may or may not be 
OK).

I just thought it strange that the new version would require 
a SIGKILL to terminate rather than a SIGINT or SIGTERM. I 
guess it not a problem, just an observation of differing 
behavior between versions.
