    510 The subprocess module is now more graceful when handling a Ctrl-C
    511 KeyboardInterrupt during subprocess.call, subprocess.run, or a Popen context
    512 manager.  It now waits a short amount of time for the child (presumed to
    513 have also gotten the SIGINT) to exit, before continuing the
    514 KeyboardInterrupt exception handling.  This still includes a SIGKILL in the
    515 call() and run() APIs, but at least the child had a chance first.
