Try ^D instead of ^C.  I've had the same problem (naturally, since my name
is jim) and decided that it's because my profile is waiting for input.
Perhaps a tset command, perhaps something else, I've been too lazy to
figure it out.  ^D convinces the request for input to go away.  Though I'd
perfer that Apple provide some other solution to this problem, I'll settle
for the workaround.  Will you?
