I'm not sure, what your problem is, but...There is a problem in modern bash versions on MiNT (actually the readline library). To interrupt, you have to press Ctrl+C followed by another character, for example a space. Same for most other signals. This problem occurs only inside bash itself (and other programs using readline), but when child programs are running you can still interrupt them with ^C as usual.
Alan has investigated this bug and has a pending fix for that. -- Vincent Rivière
