Control-C on Unix misbehaviour?

[Michael Hudson]

Something I noticed but never got around to moaning about around the
time of the transition from 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 was that now hitting Ctrl-C
at the interpreter prompt tends to dump me out to the shell.

I'm fairly sure that's not what {used to,should} happen. I was
expecting bash-like behaviour, i.e. abortion of the current command
entry.

Can anyone confirm this, or am I just talking nonsense again?

Regards,
Michael
