Title:
  Interrupting pinentry-tty with ctrl-c leaves the terminal broken

Status in pinentry package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When pinentry-tty is used to prompt for the password, interrupting the
  prompt using ctrl-c leaves the terminal only partially working: only
  some letter keys are echoed back.

  The terminal remains in this broken state for about a minute, after
  which it resets itself and everything starts working again.

  Below, I'm swiping through all alphabet and numeric keys of my
  keyboard at both 14.54, where only "469+esgxb" gets through, and again
  at 14.55 (the last line), where they all come through.

  
  14.54 jani at saegusa:testejä$ export LC_ALL=C
  14.54 jani at saegusa:testejä$ { sleep 60; echo "60 seconds passed"; } & /usr/bin/gpg -d passwords.gpg
  [1] 12375
  gpg: AES encrypted data
  Enter passphrase

  Passphrase: 
  gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting

  14.54 jani at saegusa:testejä$ 469+esgxb^C
  14.55 jani at saegusa:testejä$ 60 seconds passed


  [1]+  Done                    { sleep 60; echo "60 seconds passed"; }
