DR> stty crt -tostop erase '^H' kill '^U' intr '^C' status '^T'

It doesn't seem to help :(

BTW I've just found that actually ^C does work in 'tcsh' and 'csh' but
doesn't work with 'bash' and 'sh'. It is very wierd. I've checked all
files 'bash' or 'sh' can use (/etc/profile, $HOME/.profile, etc) but
I've not found anything suspicious.
