>Description:
	python ignores the first ^C (keyboard interrupt) when reading from
	stdin.  This is reproducable in python15, python22, python23-pth.

>How-To-Repeat:

	% python
	>>> import sys
	>>> foo=sys.stdin.read()
	^C^CTraceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
	  KeyboardInterrupt
			[first ^C was ignored]
	>>>

	>>> foo=sys.stdin.read()
	^CTraceback (most recent call last):
	  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
	  KeyboardInterrupt
			[this time the first ^C works]
	>>>


	This problem will also occur if you run the script
		#!/usr/bin/python
		import sys
		foo=sys.stdin.read()


>Fix:
	No idea.
	This doesn't occur on the Solaris 8 and RedHat 7.x.
