[issue18597] On Windows sys.stdin.readline() doesn't handle Ctrl-C properly

Thanks for doing the investigation. Yes, that comment was added by me
as part of the fix for issue1677. I'll try to have a look at the
codepath you describe to see if we can add a similar workaround. The
Ctrl-C / SIGINT handling on Windows is less than ideal, I admit.

There was a similar problem in issue18040 which I closed as "won't fix"
since the fix was arguably too intrusive for the extremely unlikely
problem it was fixing. It might be worth seeing if the same root cause
applies, though.
