BUG: weird behaviour after killing hostapd in latest CVS.

Hi... 
I've updated hostap to CVS to test prism2_srec new features, which worked Ok
(loading PRI and STA to prism2.5 PCI card).

While testing hostapd I could "reproduceable" get this behaviour: after
killing hostapd (run hostapd from cmdline and do ^C, ie kill -2) 
my Linux console gets stuck: no response to keys,  no Alt-Fn switching
_but_ I can do the magic sysrq S-U-B with expected results (no fsck in next
boot).

This does not happen with 0.0.4.

Attached hostapd.conf, the only "rare" thing is that I'm using
"assoc_ap_addr" to a working AP; and I _do_ get expected behaviour:
association  Ok and "local" AP via hostapd.

Regards ...
