In Linux on this one box, I run sudo latex file.tex.  Sometimes I forget the sudo in a folder where I don't have permission to create new files, and it hangs.

(This is on a server where I'm a sort of advanced guest, so yes, the sudo is necessary.)

[christina@192 test]$ latex file.tex
This is TeX, Version 3.14159 (Web2C 7.4.5)
! I can't write on file `file.log'.
Please type another transcript file name: !


How the eff do I quit out of that?
