psql not responding to SIGINT upon db reconnection - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Neon provides a quick start mechanism for psql using the following
workflow:

    $ psql -h pg.neon.tech
    NOTICE:  Welcome to Neon!
    Authenticate by visiting:
        https://console.neon.tech/psql_session/xxx

Upon navigating to the link, the user selects their database to work
with. The psql process is then connected to a Postgres database at Neon.

psql provides a way to reconnect to the database from within itself: \c.
If, after connecting to a database such as the process previously
mentioned, the user starts a reconnection to the database from within
psql, the process will refuse to interrupt the reconnection attempt
after sending SIGINT to it.

I am not really sure if this was a problem on Windows machines, but the
attached patch should support it if it does. If this was never a problem
on Windows, it might be best to check for any regressions.

This was originally discussed in the a GitHub issue[0] at Neon.
