Comment 2 for bug 1184376

To be honest, I don't remember why I added that. Note that the REST server is the only one that doesn't intercept signals. I tried commenting out that line (since the default is True) and cli testing seemed just fine. The test suite passes too. I wonder if it was due to a problem in Python 2.6 which perhaps is fixed now in 2.7?

Try commenting out line 43 in rest.py and see if things work better for you. If so, then perhaps we can just remove this mis-feature. I sure wish I remembered why I added it though.
