Control-C on Unix misbehaviour?

[Randall Hopper]

Quinn Dunkan:
 |Here's a data point for Irix6:
 |If you hit ^C at the >>> prompt with readline loaded (python 1.5), python
 |stops responding.  Further ^Cs do nothing, in fact the only way I've found
 |to get out is to kill from another shell or hit ^z kill %.

Possibly due to an the old Python (1.5) or an old readline.  No problems
here on IRIX 6 with Python 1.5.2 and readline 4.
