I am running emacs 18.54 under Xenix 2.3.2.  Whenever or wherever I
type C-g it seems to interrupt all processes that are running under
emacs.  The shell buffer will print a new prompt, and if a program is
executing in the shell buffer, that process gets an interrupt signal
and aborts.  A compilation started with (compile) is interrupted.  The
time and load display aborts.

Further (and related?), the C-c C-c and C-c C-d keys don't seem to do
anything in the shell buffer; definitely not their ascribed functions
of sending interrupt and EOF to the shell process.  In their absence,
I had been using the misplaced effect of C-g to interrupt a shell
process, but losing the time display is annoying and having a
concurrent compilation abort as another side effect is cause for
grumbling.

The effects are the same whether the shell is the standard Xenix
Bourne shell or the MKS Korn shell.  I am not a csh user, so I haven't
tried it with that.

...I can elaborate a little on the C-c C-d....  When it is typed, nothing
appears to happen, but if return is pressed the shell prints the message:

^D: not found


Any light you can shed will be appreciated.
