Thanks for the bug report Miguel.  I think the reason we're doing this today is 
because we're using Console.ReadKey which returns the raw key info instead of 
EOF when there's no input available.  I've opened CodePlex bug 904 to track the 
issue 
(http://www.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?ProjectName=IronPython&WorkItemId=904).

Just to get your Unix input on this: Would us checking 
Environment.OSVersion.Platform and switch from Ctrl-Z to Ctrl-D for Unix sound 
ok to you?  The reason I ask is we don't have Environment.EndOfFileDescriptor 
:).

Hello,

    Something in IronPython is now looking for Control-z, which is fine on 
Windows, but on Unix, Control-Z stands for "suspend application".

    In Unix, the end-of-file descriptor is control-d;   Am not sure why
the code is actually looking for a Control-Z, while it could be checking 
whether there is input available instead.
