It actually looks to me like we are not any closer to having this resolved than we were at the beginning of the week. Gary's last patch for ^C handling didn't work for me and he said he is out of ideas. I am willing to try out patches, but I'm really swamped with other tasks right now as well as being totally unfamiliar with the internals of this code, so it's not reasonable to think I could fix this myself in time for the 7.10 release. And AFAIK nobody else is working on this either. :-( -Sandra
