SIGINT is generated by Control-C, and that should keep the default
behaviour of interrupting the program.  However, we could hook some
other signal like USR2 to go in to the debugger, if that would work
better on OS X.  It's a bit less convenient as there's no keypress to
send it.

I think his change for the tests makes sense as a way to have them pass now.

I'll add that comment and merge it for 1.9final.
