The code used to use signal handlers to deal with that, but I later
read getpass.c in gnulib, which doesn't use signal handlers.  So I
tried to remove the signal handlers, and Ctrl-C still worked.  I.e.,
'stty sane' is not required to see what you type.  Perhaps it is bash
that fixes this?  And it wouldn't work with other shells?

Thanks,
