[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #52876] interrupt with <Ctrl> C does not terminate octave during pause

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #52876 (project octave):

One additional result of this change is that Octave now sleeps the full amount
it was told to sleep, even when it is put into the background for more than
the remaining time.

In Octave 4.2:


>> pause (5)
^Z
[1]+  Stopped                 octave-cli
$ ... wait around some time in the shell
$ fg
>> ## Octave's prompt returns immediately


Now Octave continues to sleep the full amount that the user requested only
while Octave is active, elapsed time in the background state has no effect.

This may be considered better, just observing that this is a side effect
coming from this change. This is also how Python behaves when it is put into
the background in the middle of a call to time.sleep.
