This sounds like an 'stty intr' problem, or Anzio's mapping of
the DEL key.

All my login profiles have "stty intr '^C' erase '^H'" to map the
interrupt character to ctrl-C and erase to ctrl-H as $DEITY
intended. 

When logged in on a Linux console I have fiddle things as they
usually have the backspace key send DEL instead of ctrl-H.  I
either manually use ctrl-H or "stty erase '^?'" to use the
backspace key.
