Note that the referenced FAQ mentions the

$SIG{INT} = \&catch_int;
sub catch_int { die; }

A nicer fix is this:

use sigtrap die => 'normal-signals';

A thought experiment makes me think that this will be a perfectly fine
thing to put into the CGI script (and certainly reindex.pl) so if noone
objects, I will aim to do this.
