Issue 1677 - please advise

June 29, 2012

I've been working on issue 1677 which concerns a race condition in the interactive interpreter on Windows where a Ctrl-C can in some circumstances cause the interpreter to exit as though a Ctrl-Z had been pressed. I've added patches to the issue for 2.7, 3.2 & default. I can't see any realistic way to add a test for this. Unsurprisingly there don't appear to be any tests in the test suite for the interactive interpreter and even if there were, this is an inconsistent race condition I'm fixing. So... should I go ahead and push anyway, or is there anything else I should be doing as part of the change? Thanks TJG
