In particular, if the code uses broad exception clauses (for example,
plain "except") in order to attempt recoveries and continue executing,
then it's going to catch the KeyboardInterrupt exception this method
tries to generate just as any other exception, and continue execution.
If that execution is resulting in an infinite loop, well...
