The first one is probably not being ignored but is being caught by the
`try'. This is the way `try' and C-c currently interact--it is not
clear this is the right thing to do or that this will remain true.
One of the things in the works is a more structured exception handling
system that will allow the interaction of try, C-c, and other
non-local exits to be specified more clearly.
I suspect you are using C-c again before R has a chance to get back to
the top level command loop. I believe solaris is one of those systems
where signal handlers need to be re-installed after a signal is
received. We currently do this at the top level loop but not at the
point where a `try' intercepts a jump out of a C-c. As a result the
default signal handler is in place for the period between the first
C-c and return to the top level loop, and the default handler exits
when a C-c is received. [I'm speculating a bit here since I don't
have easy access to a solaris system, but you should be able to
confirm it by running
{ try(repeat{}); cat("got through try\n"); repeat{}}
at the command line. The first C-c should take you out of the `try'.
On my Linux system a second C-c takes me to the command line but on
your it probably exits R.]
