I've seen the same thing, but only when the command I'm trying to
interrupt is setuid.
Mine aren't setuid. It's any command at all -- I can't interrupt
anything. For example,
while [ 1 ] ; do sleep 1 ; done
I end up having to open up another shell, and kill the process
from there.
I posted here (or maybe in a comp.sys.mac group)
months ago and never got a useful answer.
The workaround is to type "C-q C-c RET" to send a literal Control-C
rather than a signal.
Even that doesn't work for me :-(
Thanks for replying!
