Following up to myself, but here's the error (kernel/program/.c) lines

        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;

I'd say this is the way to leave it, since it seems to be how you meant it
in the first place.  It's just very annoying to take out the batteries if
ON/OFF is pressed by mistake while something is running.

What does standard firmware do?

Don't know, I've never used it...
