Hi Aaron,

Unless something has changed, the serial port has to be open
for it to have the interrupt enabled and this is necessary to
notice the Ctrl-A or other magic kdb string.  I don't think
kdb does anything to force the serial port to be opened.

Enabling a login on the serial port might make the difference.
