Here's the problem: Ctrl-C isn't quit. It's keyboard interrupt, and that does not necessarily mean "quit".

Ironically, in vim, where the terminal is in non-canonical input mode when vim is in the foreground, it is not keyboard interrupt. (Nor is it in most modern shells, which also use non-canonical input mode in their command line editing mechanisms.)
