 For #5929: fix hang in maxima/ecl due to assumption questions

 When maxima asks a question, current code sends CTRL-C
 twice to break, then raises an exception. This used to work with
 clisp, but for ecl it actually hangs. A test case is given by

 {{{
 var("Ax,Bx,By")
 t = -Ax*sin(sqrt(Ax^2)/2)/(sqrt(Ax^2)*sqrt(By^2 + Bx^2))
 limit(t, Ax=0)
 }}}

 It turns out that it is possible to "break" from the question by just
 sending ";" by itself to maxima. The current patch changes to this
 method of escaping. It works with clisp or ecl.
