[Gems-users] control-c not halting simulation in Simics 3

[Philip Garcia <pcgarcia@xxxxxxxx>]

I have recently migrated over to using simics 3, and have noticed that  
when using opal, the simulation no longer pauses when I hit control- 
c.  Is this happening to anyone else using simics 3?  It is quite  
annoying, as I need to occasionally stop simulations to examine the  
state when something goes wrong.  However as it stands, I have to wait  
for opal to finish executing (once it finishes the set number of  
instructions it pauses as before).   Does anyone know why this  
behavior changed, or where the hooks into simics to pause the  
simulation take place?  No other modules seem to cause this behavior.   
It's also quite annoying as the only way to currently cancel a  
simulation is to use kill -9.
