Comment:

 The new signal handling code in 6.10.2 broke Ctrl-C in GHCi.

 The following patches have been pushed to fix it:

 {{{
 Thu Apr 23 04:29:39 PDT 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * don't overwrite io_manager_pipe if it is already set

 Thu Apr 23 04:30:02 PDT 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * add getOrSetSignalHandlerStore, much like getOrSetTypeableStore

 Fri Apr 24 10:16:10 BST 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * add missing files (part of #3171 fix)
 }}}

 and in libraries/base:

 {{{
 Thu Apr 23 04:28:37 PDT 2009  Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>
   * FIX #3171: make sure we have only one table of signal handlers
 }}}
