i've always attributed it to the fact that tcsh (and bash, fwiw) both
set the terminal into "raw" mode (with echo off as well?), while sh
and csh, afaik, either only set it to cbreak mode, or just tell it to
ignore signals.  in apps that i've written, i usually have the sigint
handler print "\b \b\b \b\r\n" to erase the ^C garbage.

tcsh definitely fiddles about a bit and sets

lflags: -icanon -iexten -echo -echok -pendin 
iflags: -inlcr
cchars: dsusp = <undef>; eof = <undef>; lnext = <undef>;
	reprint = <undef>; susp = <undef>; werase = <undef>;

try this with any shell and it oughta give some clues as to what it's
doing.
