[pkg-ntp-maintainers] Bug#858349: ntpq: ctrl-D doesn't stop interactive session anymore

[Paul Slootman]

Package: ntp
Version: 1:4.2.8p9+dfsg-2.1
Severity: important
Control: notfound -1 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-7+deb8u2

After upgrading from 1:4.2.6.p5+dfsg-7+deb8u2 I noticed that I can't
exit ntpq anymore by sending EOF (ctrl-D). I need to hit ctrl-C twice.

Also, this sends CPU usage to 100%:

    echo rl | ntpq

I can't stop this with ctrl-C, I needed to use ctrl-\ .

I can't imagine that this serves any purpose, so it would be great if
EOF worked again.


Thanks,
Paul
