Seems related to #706406 and #3180.

I cannot reproduce this with a recent 2.7 build from mercurial, but can reproduce with /usr/bin/python (2.7.2) on OSX 10.8 and python 2.7.3 on Centos 6.4 system.

I cannot reproduce it on Python 2.7.9+. I get the following output which is the expected output: --- -1 CTRL-C --- Since this bug is 8 years old. I guess that the bug was already fixed, or maybe it can only be reproduced on a specific platform. But the platform or the specific conditions to reproduce the issue were not described. I close this issue.
