I actually just fixed this, but I'm not going to release a new RPM for
it. Those interested can grab SysVinit-2.64-4 from the devel tree (it
will appear tonight). Simply ignoring the SIGINT signal in /sbin/init after
the first time it's delivered works fine (if init doesn't reboot after
getting the first SIGINT, you have bigger problems).
