MaxListenersExceededWarning for interrupted event unexpectedly triggered when writing to the stdio in mongosh in one evaluation

      Problem Statement/Rationale

      Seems like multiple writes to stdio directly from a singe mongosh evaluation leaks listeners on the mongosh cli interrupt implementation, this doesn't seem to break anything but produces an unexpected warning in the output

      Steps to Reproduce

      mongosh --nodb --quiet --eval "for (let i = 0; i < 11; i++) { console.log('hi'); }"
      

      Expected Results

      hi is printed on the screen eleven times

      Actual Results

      hi is printed on the screen eleven times but also a warning about max listeners:

      > for (let i = 0; i < 11; i++) { console.log('hi'); };
      (node:33596) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 interrupted listeners added to [EventEmitter]. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
      (Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      hi
      

      Additional Notes

      • Using print instead of console.log directly avoids causing the issue
      • It doesn't matter if it's stdout or stderr, changing console.log to console.error in the example above still causes the issue
