Forrtl indicates that your script is running a Fortran library or
program.  Remember that Python exceptions only apply during Python.
If a Fortran DLL performs a divide-by-zero error, or accesses invalid
memory, it will kill the interpreter instead of throwing a Python
exception.  With Compaq Visual Fortran, the Fortran library calls can
kill your entire program if a function receives an invalid value.
(Try raising a negative real number to a fractional exponent, for
example.)

I'd guess that the Fortran code is intercepting the CTRL-C signal and
killing the running script.

Without knowing anything about your script and the library calls it
makes, I can't give you much advice.  There may be little that you can
do, especially if you don't have the Fortran source code in question
and/or can't recompile it.  Maybe someone with some Fortran/Python
experience can assist you.
