In both 4.3.42(2)-release and 4.4.5(1)-release, I was listing my history (history cmd) and hit control-C and got: 4402 0502@091824: ls * 4403 0502@091901: cd .. 4404 0502@091930: cd xyzzy-1.8.4.1/ 4405 0502@091932: ls 4406 0502@091939: grep -r template . ^C bash: printf: write error: Success
bash: printf: write error: Success bash: printf: write error: Success bash: printf: write error: Success bash: printf: write error: Success bash: printf: write error: Success bash: printf: write error: Success --- At that point the shell is rather 'sad'... hitting more ctl-c's gives more write errors, and ctl-d exits the shell.
