Here is what I tried.  

I brought comint.el into a buffer, searched for "defun comint-interrupt-subjob"

Below the (interactive) I added a (debug) and set the region around the defun,
then did eval-region.

I then did ^C^C and stepped through no problem and eventually aborted the
program in the shell.  So I started the shell program again and did ^C^C.  When
the debug started I just hit C, it completed the abort just fine.

So I took out the debug line and eval'ed the defun again.  Now ^C^C aborted
the program just fine.

So I got out of emacs totally, restarted, tried the ^C^C again and it didn't
work.

So I brought comint.el into a buffer again, eval'ed just comint-interrupt-subjob
without adding or changing anything else.  Now ^C^C worked just fine.

Does any of this help?  (Is this what you meant to do when you said to run
"interpreted"?)

Thanks
