Perform 'stty -a' at the command line.
See what 'intr' (interrupt) is assigned ... If it says ^C, then you may
be in a subshell of a program. VI, for example, manages the interrupt
character FOR you, so that if you shell out of VI, interrupt doesn't
work properly (it's intercepted, or remapped ... It's been a while).
If it doesn't say ^C, then use that character for interrupt, or perform
stty intr ^C ... (press CTRL-C here, not the two
characters)
I don't know why in your case it should be different, but we do things
in /etc/profile as well.

Subject: [aix-l] can't ctrl-c
What would prevent my from being able to ctrl-c a ping, or any other
little app like that? This is a 4.3.3 node. I don't see any traps in
the /.profile or /.kshrc or /etc/environment. This happens as root
aswell as with my skeleton user account. What could cause this?
