The real issue as I see it is not that the terminal gets screwed, but
that a single ctrl-c will never end the process. One ctrl-c will produce
the "Wait..." text but then it will never end unless the filter lets
some word through. If fixing this would impact performance I'd vote for
not fixing it though. And maybe it's academic. In real usage, the filter
would let *something* through, otherwise it'd be pretty pointless...
