[issue8714] Delayed signals in the REPL on OpenBSD (possibly libpthread related)

After a quick look, I don't see anything wrong with r68460, but it might very well have exposed this problem which was lurking before.

We've already had some problems - especially on *BSD - when mixing signals and threads (and it might be even worse on OpenBSD, since pthreads are implemented in user-space). However, IIUC, in this case you only have a single thread, right?

Could you post the output of an strace (well, ktrace on OpenBSD)?
Is Python compiled with readline support?
