However I can type in anything and hit CTRL-C and never ever see the
much needed "^C" chars on the input line :
h# zpool destroy -f zroot

Well there you have it. Can you see the time I hit CTRL-C ? No?
Neither can I.
This is a really annoying "feature" in the default shell.
There must be a way to fix this weird behavior.
Wasn‘t this always the default behavior in /bin/sh?
I'd need to install an old bsd if I still have the ISOs to check. However
/bin/sh does print ^D. Somewhat odd it does that and not ^C. I've used
FreeBSD since 2.1 but always used bash as my shell so I've never noticed
the ctrl-c thing.
