Control-C not working?

[Thomas Brockman <thomasbrockman%yahoo.com@localhost>]

Hi,

I have developed a somewhat mysterious problem. Running NetBSD 3.0, some 
utilities seem to have started ignoring the Ctrl-C key combination to terminate 
the foreground process. Some culprits are e.g. cat, grep and sed. I have tried 
it with different terminal emulators (logging into the NetBSD box over SSH). 
Yet the keypress is being delivered, because it's working for some (e.g. "ntpd 
-qg").

Is this normal behavior and I just haven't noticed it earlier, or is it a 
problem with my system?

Thomas
