Crtl-C -> panic

[David Bateman]

I had the habit of hitting Ctrl-C to remove the current text from the
commandline of octave. However, in the CVS version I currently have
this causes the following

octave:1> panic: Aborted -- stopping myself...
attempting to save variables to `octave-core'...
save to `octave-core' complete
Abort

Is this the expected behaviour? Do I have some sort of wierd inconsistency
between my copy of octave and the CVS? Can someone running a CVS version
tell me what Ctrl-C at a prompt does for them? Or is this as I suspect
a bug?

Regards
David
