Bug reproduced on x86-linux and mips-irix
>Description:
When GDB is busy processing a command which takes a long time to complete, hitting control-c does not always interrupt the
command.

For instance, try the following:

    (gdb) while 1
    >end

GDB is then stuck in the while busy loop. Try hitting control-c, but it won't have any effect. It should abort
the command.

>How-To-Repeat:
See description.
