When I run a script from bash like this

```julia
$ julia hello.jl

```

where hello.jl is just

```julia
println("hello")

```

and I try to kill it like any other program with Ctrl+c, it hangs for quite some time and finally comes back with

```julia
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

```

This seems like a bug. Any thoughts? Thanks.
