Sorry, but that's a "well-known" bug in Procomm 2.4.2.  My advice to you
is to either avoid hitting those keys (like you suggested), or to
switch to Telix, which is a better comm. program and doesn't have
that (and other) annoying "features".  BTW, the line break key in
Procomm 2.4.2 is Alt-F7.  (And most half-decent programs trap Control-Break
anyway (so you don't accidentally send your work to never-never land),
so you should consider yourself lucky that you actually got *anything*
when you hit Control-Break.  Try Alt-X, for a slightly more civilized
way of stopping the program.)
