I guess the use of a timeout was the problem... I simply used
asyncore.loop(). It worked in UNIX, but not in DOS (or Cygwin). So...
The low timout means that the Python loop surrounding select() will be
executed more often, thereby making it possible to interrupt it more
often?

Now, it seems I have the same problem with another server too, but
that one is written using SocketServer (SimpleXMLRPCServer, actually).
Not sure how to achieve the same there. It seems I'm not able to
interrupt its serve_forever() in DOS/Cygwin there either -- although I
can easily interrupt it in UNIX (as with asyncore).

Any similar tricks I can use there, to force it to listen for
interrupts?
