It is somewhat hard to believe that the 'real' program would not exit
when it hits the end-of-file, which you would simulate with <ctrl-D>
at the terminal and the end of a here document will also provide.
What happens if you run the real program with input redirected from a
file - does the machine melt as it keeps on reading?

Are you sure it won't end with a typed ^D as the only thing typed?
If it really needs the ^C you'll have to do something ugly to kill it
with a signal.
