Same here, just running on a MC68030 running System V/68 R3V6
(Motorola port of AT&T UNIX System V Release 3.1 (I think))

I've seen others having this problem as well, and someone indicating
that the bash didn't react properly to System V signals. But lacking
the time to investigate the source code myself, I hereby make a
request to the authors of bash or others willing to correct this
misbehaving, to post fixes to the net.

It is really awful to see such a good shell as bash be abandoned (as I
have done, at least temporary) just because of this strange behaviour
in company with emacs.
