What did the dialog tell you?

whiptail ignores Ctrl-C. If you press Return, the program should exit.
Did you press return?

Shown how?

I still don't get it. Look at the code around the message that you most
likely mean and tell me what should be different. Please.

      printmsg gettext("You are not root and no replacement directory (the -u 
option)\nis specified. Unable to continue.") if !$opt_quiet;
      $columns = $orgcolumns;
      exit 254;

IMO the only way for this "dead loop" to happen is when you provide a
custom user directory and the one you choose is somehow fscked. In this
case your report is not quite correct.

Regards,
Eduard.
