Package: mksh
Version: 46-1
Severity: normal

When running a command that traps SIGINT, mksh doesn't ignore SIGINT.
It should implement WCE (like bash and ksh93), as described on:

  http://www.cons.org/cracauer/sigint.html

To reproduce the bug:

  mksh -c "gdb; echo OK"

and type Ctrl-C (trapped by gdb), then Ctrl-D to quit gdb. "OK" is not
output and "echo $?" outputs 130 instead of 0.

With this bug, mksh shouldn't be a /bin/sh candidate, as this bug can
yield spurious command failure when executed with system().

Note that due to a mksh optimization, the bug does not appear when
there is a single command: in such a case, the shell does not fork,
but executes the command, replacing it, so that the shell is no longer
involved.
