Description:
        [I tried posting this to gnu.bash.bug twice, but neither post has
        shown up that I can see].

        bash 3.0 has a change to readline regarding special characters, as
        mentioned in a post to gnu.bash.bug with a Subject: of
        "unix-filename-rubout doesn't work".

        I think Chet's reasoning is sound regarding why the change was made,
        but it seems to have completely broken intr-handling in bash 3.0.
        My normal .inputrc sets vi-mode, but with or without a .inputrc the
        ^C character is completely ignored on both Tru64 UNIX 5.1b and
        Solaris 2.8 (LP64 mode).  Pressing ^C has no visible effect with
        bash 3.0.  I just tested on mips4-sig-irix6.5.22m (LP64 mode), and
        the problem happens there as well.

        This doesn't happen for me on Linux -- pressing ^C works as it did
        with 2.05b.004.

Repeat-By:
        Execute bash 3.0 and press ^C.  Nothing happens.

        My stty settings (on Tru64):
