sudo and C-cC-c in shell buffer on OS X

[Barry Margolin]

I'm running Enhanced Carbon Emacs 21.3.50.03.11.14.CVS on OS X 10.3.5.  
One thing that I noticed behaves differently from how I remember it 
working when I used to use Solaris: if I use sudo in a shell buffer, I 
can't use C-c C-c to kill the program or C-c C-z to suspend it; these 
work when running commands normally.

I can work around it by typing C-q C-c or C-q C-z, but does anyone know 
why this doesn't work and if there's a way to fix it?

Please use M-x report-emacs-bug for CVS-related problems.
I think in your case it might have to do with process-connection-type, tho
I can't remember when/if that was changed (the default on macosx was to not
use tty because of bugs in the tty support of macosx, but I think those
bugs were fixed in 10.3).

It is using a tty -- otherwise C-q C-c wouldn't work either.
