Hm.  C-c C-c is invoking the right command, but the command doesn't
do anything.

I have no idea how come this happens.  Hm.  I would perhaps locate
the source for the function (M-x find-function RET
comint-interrupt-subjob RET), then M-x edebug-defun RET it, then
single-step through it to see what happens.
