Well, if you are at the command prompt you have to push ^C and then
ENTER, and then you get the "*** user interrupt ***".  In effect, the ^C
is not seen until the read() has completed.  But if code is executing,
^C by itself is enough.

I just rebuilt from head to see if this had changed, but it hasn't.
I consider this minor.
