[omniORB] omniORBpy, readline and ^C

[Gaël Le Mignot]

Hello,

I'm trying  to make a command  line (shell-like) interface  to a CORBA
engine. For that, I use  omniORBpy and the Python readline module. But
after initializing the ORB  (with CORBA.ORB_init), if the user strikes
^C  during  the   raw_input  (from  readline),  the  KeyboardInterrupt
exception  is runned  twice, and  even worse,  a call  to orb.shutdown
(True) after that makes the Python interpreter to segfault.

I tried  to use  readline in a  multithreaded Python  program (without
using  omniORB) and  it works  as excepted:  the  KeyboardInterrupt is
raised once in the main thread, and other threads still run.

What's  really strange is  that without  readline, raw_input  works as
expected, even with the ORB initialized.

I've Python 2.2.3, omniorb 4.0.1  and omniorbpy 2.2, and all those are
running on a Debian GNU/Linux with a 2.4.21 kernel.
