[PYTHONMAC-SIG] EOF ( ^D or ^Z ) on sys.stdin.read()

Hmm, I just looked at it in an idle 5 minutes, and it is rather difficult to 
fix: the sioux console driver sets a hard eof flag on a low level. So I hereby 
retract the offer to fix it (unless people can point me to the right page in 
the C standard where it says that this behaviour is illegal, so I can send a 
bugreport to MW: I have this feeling that clearerr() should clear eof 
conditions too, but I haven't got a standard handy).
