Subject: odb needs protection against ctrl-c 
Even with the cm_watchdog signal removed, some trouble from UNIX signals remains.

This time, when one presses Ctrl-C at the wrong time, the Ctrl-C signal handler will run at the wrong time
and strange things will happen (including odb corruption).

In the captured stack trace, I pressed Ctrl-C right when odbedit was inside db_lock_database(). I had to make special
arrangements to make it happen, but I have seen it happen in normal use when running experiments.

K.O.
