Subject: Improve SIGINT handling in multi-threaded programs

The flag remembering whether an Interrupted exception was thrown is
now thread-local. Thus, all threads will (eventually) throw
Interrupted. Previously, one thread would throw Interrupted, and then
the other threads wouldn't see that they were supposed to quit.
