Sounds like someone broke /etc/profile, and forgot to turn the traps off.
There should be a line like:
trap 1 2 3
at the end of the file. If this is missing (or /etc/profile is exiting early),
^C will cause a little lost output, but the program will continue to run. Csh
sets its own signal traps, so when you invoke it ^C works again.
