As long as I wait until the "END not accessible" line to show up before I hit 
Ctrl-C, I never get the INSIDE END BLOCK output here.  I'm most likely using 
EV (since it's installed), but don't have Async::Interrupt installed.

$ ~/perl/blead/bin/perl rc.pl
END not accessible during run_cmd()... wait 5 seconds till it's done
^C
catcher called with 'INT'
