I'm afraid I'm not able to reproduce this.
I see that the code doesn't consider the state of the control or shift keys
when looking for alt-f4 to close the server (so ctrl-alt-f4 also closes it,
which is possibly a bug), but this should also be disabled by -nowinkill,
which is what I observe.

-unixkill -nowinkill should achieve this.
