Why to keep the signal handler installed after rl_callback_read_char returns
to its caller?
The application (GDB) can do some rl_stuff_char(3) if it sees SIGINT and call
rl_callback_read_char() then. This way all the SIGINT-hooked operations do
not have to be executed from the signal handler.
But you may have solved it some way as you wrote now, thanks.
