Kerberos handles interrupt poorly

Problem:

When I typed control-C in the middle of a kinit session, the program
returned "bus error" and exited.  The kinit program should handle
those signals in a more friendly way.

To reproduce:

Type kinit.  Instead of enetering your password, type ctrl-C.

Sample session:

althea# kinit marcus
MIT Project Athena (althea)
Kerberos Initialization for "marcus"
Password: 				<====== ctrl-C typed here
Bus error
