I am a bit surprised by this, because, as far as I can remember, I
couldn't understand how this feature could work (no offense meant,
just to say that it appeared that this functionality was not just
broken under certain circumstances, but instead was never working).
For me, Control-C is working when the debugger is waiting for an event
from the inferior. However, it is not working when the debugger is
busy inside a greedy loop (ie the QUIT macro does not abort the
loop).
