openssh unix dev - Jun 2004 - "break"/SIGINT handling

Hi, 

Could anyone tell me why break requests are only handled in sshd if the channel
type is in a 'LARVAL' state?

I'm converting an application that currently uses telnet as an underlying
communication protocol and it relies on a SIGINT when an IAC/IP is received by
the telnet daemon. It seems an SSH break could/should perform a similar function
(tcsendbreak() in session_break_req() would cause this) but my application is
started as part of the users .profile - i.e. after a 'shell' request and
the channel type is changed to SSH_CHANNEL_OPEN.

Is there any way I can get a signal through to my server application from the
client?

Thanks

That could be a bug. Does the attached patch help?
