I couldn't get an automated test to fail on the bug with subprocess. Apparently 
an interpreter launched with Popen is not subject to the bug as it is when 
launched directly from the shell (i.e. fgets is not interrupted by a SIGSTOP 
sent by the parent process), so I may be getting something wrong here.
However I don't believe the important thing is to test this particular issue 
(which may be unimportant by itself if nobody noticed it for seven years, and 
not many build Python without readline) but rather make sure it doesn't break 
things elsewhere. As I understand it the code in r36346 didn't have proper 
tests, so we can only guess?
