#615 Ctrl-c of the session dies ungracefully

[Anonymous]

Often I find myself running the discovery phase and deciding I've found enough attack points. If I then try to ctrl-c the process to move on with the attack I get output to the console and then this error:

An exception was raised while trying to write to the output file: I/O operation on closed file

w3af>>> plugins
w3af/plugins>>> audit
Failed to get an instance of "dav". Original exception: "Failed to create shelve file.".Traceback for this error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/sean/Tools/w3af/core/controllers/misc/factory.py", line 60, in factory

File "/Users/sean/Tools/w3af/core/data/db/temp_persist.py", line 74, in __init__
raise Exception('Failed to create shelve file.')
Exception: Failed to create shelve file.

At this point the audit/exploit menus are unusable so I can just exit

w3af/plugins>>> exit
w3af/plugins>>> An exception was raised while trying to write to the output file: I/O operation on closed file

I have it set out to output to a html file, which it does successfully.

I'm on OS X Leopard and using Python 2.5.1

I added some code to be able to debug this problem if it happens to you again.
Please "svn up" to get that code.
