1.8.0 on Unix: interrupting huge print()s ??

When accidentally calling print() {implicitly}, we have been used here to
press CTRL+c (twice in Emacs ESS!) for stopping the output.
This no longer works in R 1.8.0 at least on our unix platforms.

Most unfortunate! Our system is like Martin's (Solaris 2.8, Emacs, ESS) and we also lose the use of ^C^C with R-1.8.0. It's probably enough to prevent us from upgrading. I saw no sign of Luke's proposed patch as of 10/13 (in the NEWS file); is one in the works? Thanks.
