Regarding Daytime.3 - An asynchronous TCP daytime server: [1]

There is no way to stop this server!  I can kill it under Linux but then it
aborts instead of exiting, which is in general not good.

== My solution ==
Add a global quit event variable.
Handle the QUIT signal by setting the quit event.
Test for the quit event within the event loop.

Thoughts?
