I am unable to duplicate the problem (right now at least).  What I had (ever
since installing 21.2) was that if I started a program in a shell and it was
prompting for a filename or whatever, if I hit ^C^C it did *NOT* abort the
program.  But if I did esc-x comint-interupt-subjob, that *DID* abort it.  But
in checking the keystroke, it really was bound to `comint-interupt-subjob' as it
should have been.  I know it sounds dumb, but it did it repeatedly, hence my
note to the list.

The ^C^C did nothing at all.  No interupt, no beep, nada.

Not much help, I know.

I'll let you know if it re-occurs.

Thanks
