ipdb unresponsive with eventlet's monkey_patch enabled

[bbbco]

I have a script where I am using eventlet's patcher to monkey patch, and this seems to cause ipdb to be unresponsive. Here's a simple script:

from eventlet import patcher
import ipdb
patcher.monkey_patch(all=True)

ipdb.set_trace()

Run this script, and notice that the ipdb console is completely unresponsive. I have to use a new terminal to kill the process manually.

I'm using the following environment:

• Linux Mint 19

╰─ python --version
Python 2.7.15rc1
╰─ ipython --version
5.7.0
╰─ pip show ipdb

Hmmm ... doing a bit more online searching and I came across https://github.com/eventlet/eventlet/issues/361
