bug#58440: 27.2; Exit Code on SIGINT is Zero, But shouldn't Be

[Morten Welinder <mwelinder@gmail.com>]

1. Create the following perl script named "ttt":

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $rc = system($ENV{EDITOR});
my $err = $?;
print STDERR "\nrc=$rc  err=$err\n";

2. Run   EDITOR='/usr/bin/emacs -Q' ./ttt
Emacs comes up normally

3. In shell window, press Ctrl-C
Observe: "rc=0  err=0"
Expected: non-zero values

4. Run   EDITOR='xterm -e /usr/bin/emacs -Q' ./ttt
Emacs comes up normally as does an xterm window

5. In shell window, press Ctrl-C
Observe: "rc=512  err=512"
This is what's expected.
