Belize... I just got back.
  
  * No, this hasn't changed the behaviour of getpass() in accepting any
    of the signalling characters; they had to be quoted with ^V (or
    whatever your lnext character is set to) anyway, as well as for
    example ^\.  The only change is that the ^C interpretation is now
    immediate, while you first had to press enter in order to see the
    effect of you intr previously.

Wait, are you trying to tell me that ^V^C would not normally generate a
signal?  I find that difficult to believe, although I haven't tested it.
