In shell-mode, if I "su -", I find that C-c C-c no longer works to
kill processes.
This can be inconvenient. Any solutions or insights?

Works for me. What version of Emacs are you using, on what platform?
What shell do you use? (I assume root uses /bin/sh.) What command are
you trying to interrupt? (I assume it's not a pipeline or a subshell.)

Try C-q C-c <return>.

21.2 under RH9, 21.3 under RH7.1, root is using /bin/bash. Ordinary
"single" commands, e.g. "ping www.ul.ie".
To my surprise, Kin Cho's suggestion of C-q C-c RET works,
reminding me how little I know about Emacs and its underlays.
