Error 2014 "Commands out of sync" from Ctrl-C

Using:
* MySQL-python post-1.2.3 (current checkout [r645] of https://mysql-python.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mysql-python/branches/MySQLdb-1.2/MySQLdb)
* Python 2.7 (vendor package)
* on Fedora 14

Interrupting a query with Ctrl-C should always result in a KeyboardInterrupt exception. But often, the program crashes instead with

"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./kbd-interrupt-crash-manual.py", line 34, in <module>
cursor.close()
File "/home/scratch/src/mysql-python-1.2/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 75, in close
while self.nextset(): pass
File "/home/scratch/src/mysql-python-1.2/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 107, in nextset
nr = db.next_result()

"""

Sample code (assuming a connection already open):

"""
while True:
cursor = conn.cursor()
try:
cursor.execute("select 1")
cursor.fetchall()
finally:
cursor.close()
"""

Hit Ctrl-C while that loop is running, and odds are pretty good that the script will crash as shown above, rather than with the expected KeyboardInterrupt.

Also, it sometimes fails like this:

"""
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./kbd-interrupt-crash-manual.py", line 27, in <module>
cursor = conn.cursor()
File "/home/scratch/src/mysql-python-1.2/MySQLdb/connections.py", line 243, in cursor
return (cursorclass or self.cursorclass)(self)
File "/home/scratch/src/mysql-python-1.2/MySQLdb/cursors.py", line 50, in init
def init(self, connection):
KeyboardInterrupt
Exception AttributeError: "'Cursor' object has no attribute 'connection'" in <bound method="" Cursor.__del__="" of="" <MySQLdb.cursors.Cursor="" object="" at="" 0x2233d10="">> ignored
"""

But I suspect that is a different bug.

I'll attach the complete script I'm using to reproduce this. Just run it, wait a second or so, and hit Ctrl-C. Repeat. On my system, I get the ProgrammingError, rather than the expected KeyboardInterrupt, roughly 50% of the time.
