Completely different problem. No patch yet -- I'm not sure:

In this incanartion read ends up in read1char() which explicitly does
*not* stop if the read returns with errno==EINTR. So I guess someone
had a reason for doing this way.

We could either test retflag/breaks/contflag there or give it a flag
that says to stop in case of EINTR and which would be set by bin_read
(via getquery()).

Of course, there are also be other solutions...
