I don't know exactly when the issue showed up. However, readline seems like a likely culprit indeed. Some searches turned up various reports of similar issues (ctrl-c not working until after a newline) as old as 2006. The issue seems to relate either to readline or the way a program uses readline. - Josh Triplett -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
