Ah, got it:  I have in my ipythonrc

confirm_exit 0

by default.  I can't stand programs asking me stuff all the time.

If I set it to 1, now I do see that bizarre string of 'do you want to
exit' things.  Note that under Emacs, it exits fine, I only see the
exit storm using Krisna's pipe call.

I'll see if I can fix it, I think I know what's going on.

Cheers,
