Below is a better version that doesn't obscure the proper exit value in the normal case and exits with 1 if interrupted by the user. It also ensures that the cleanup isn't executed twice when the script is interrupted.

However, for Bash (at least) none of this is necessary; all the traps could just be changed to only trap 0 and the cleanup will be executed for all cases. However, I don't know how compatible that is with other shells. If other shells behave the same, the best fix is just to strip the 1,2,3 and 15 from each of the existing trap lines and not bother with the patch given below.
