Summary:                    getpass() doesn't correctly handle CTRL-C
Description: 
When using the dropbear SSH client, it calls getpass() to ask the user for
a password.  During the invocation of this function, pressing CTRL-C is
ignored by uClibc's getpass(), which makes it difficult to handle
canceling a connection.  This differs from behavior in my C library.

I suggest that when a user presses CTRL-C during getpass(), SIGINT is
raised.

this has nothing to do with uClibc ... the same behavior can be observed on
glibc
