I suspect you're right, Vim+ECL being single-threaded and all.
Welcome back to the days of DOS: if your machine crashed, you had to
reboot it.  If your Vim crashes, you may have to kill it.

But maybe we could catch SIGINT or something, or write an :around
method on one of the stream output functions to check for a request to
abort.  Dunno, will have to think about it.
