Description

I hace just closed a CoCoA-5 running inside Emacs by sending a ctrl-D.
Initially I thought ctrl-D had not worked because it seemed that nothing happened (because CoCoA was busy freeing the memory occupied by a large polynomial, see comment 2 in issue #1756).
It would be nice if there were an immediate response that CoCoA-5 is quitting (& cleaning up used resoures).

History

Maybe look at line 3036 in Interpreter.C?
We must consider all ways that CoCoA-5 can exit (outside a crash).

I have implemented a first prototype (and checked in).
The code definitely need to be cleaned!
Need to discuss with Anna.

This has been done for some time. I'm happy enough with the behaviour... no-one else has complained. So closing.
