I just made some changes that will allow you to interrupt Octave when
it is in a loop like this inside a startup file.  It simply exits on
the interrupt signal, which may not be what you were hoping for, but I
see no other way to handle this in a reasonable way without doing a
lot of work that I think is not really worth the effort.

Thanks,

jwe
