bug#17387: 24.4.50; comint-interrupt-subjob: Text is read-only

[Sam Steingold]

I seem to be unable to send signals to subprocesses (e.g., python).
whether I hit C-c C-c in *Python* buffer or select BREAK (or STOP) from
the Signals menu, all I get is the "Text is read-only" message in the
echo area.
