        This should be 'break'.  The way the code is now, pressing on/off
while anything is running exits the key_handler() thread, and of course all
the keys except for "View" stop working.

If ON/OFF is desired while programs run, just drop the if.
If ON/OFF isn't to work while programs run, it has to be this:

if(nb_tasks<=3) {
  killall(PRIO_HIGHEST);
  return 0; // killall doesn't kill self
}
break;

What does standard firmware do?
