But wait, there's more.  This script tries to clean up after
itself when you kill it, and it fails miserably.  And after
some investigation, it turns out that lxc-start-ephemeral
also fails miserably if you send it a SIGINT.  Although it
does catch SIGINT and do the right thing, it won't
get the SIGINT until lxc-start ends, and that won't end until
lxc-wait ends, and that won't happen until... somebody stops
the ephemeral machine, which presumably was the whole
reason the SIGINT was sent in the first place.

So, maybe the 'lxc-stop' in lxc-start-ephemeral's cleanup routine is moot!

So much for signals as an exposed interface.  I'm going to
revisit my script now and rewrite it to provide a nicer,
working, way to stop the nested machine and the loop.
