"Tends"?  I hope you can make a bolder claim than that <wink>.

If Ctrl-C does kill the interpreter, it's a platform-specific bug.  Start
your exciting search by trying:

>>> import signal
>>> signal.default_int_handler()

Hoping for something like:

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
KeyboardInterrupt
>>>

and still in the interpreter shell.
