Yes, I know exactly what this is, since it bit a user here and
frustrated me for a bit.  Chances are, you have mappings for ^C under
the Setup Keys on the Session menu.  I would recommed deleting any and
all key mappings under that option.  It seems that NCSA will trap for
^C, and send the telnet protocol equivlent of "interrupt" instead of
passing the ^C through to emacs.  Hope this helps.
          Peace,
