Description AIDA Shinra 2011-07-27 11:30:08 UTC 
If a program gets the same signal twice in a single call to el_gets(), editline's internal signal handler is not used to the second one.

Fix: Apply the attached patch.
How-To-Repeat: I found this bug when testing CURRENT's BSD bc.

You can also reproduce the problem by inserting "printf" or "write" to libedit's sig_handler() and run ftp(1).

libedit has changed a lot since this bug report, I believe this is no more an issue, please reopen if I am wrong
