[IPython-user] Segmentation fault with -pylab

[Francesc Alted]

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for the patch. It seems to work well for me. However, I must confess
that the behaviour looks a bit weird to my eyes. I'm very used to press ^C
when I don't want to execute the line I'm editing (both in ipython or bash
or whatever), as a rapid way to get the prompt back again. However, with
your patch, I need to press an additional 'Return', and more regrettably,
the command line that I was composing and trying to throw out is executed
against my will (!)

I hope this is not going to stay 'as is', otherwise my brain could become
severly damaged ;) 

Cheers,
