Not quite true that you can't type anything. What happens (for me) is
that you are still in reverse-i-search, so you can get this effect
from "^R l ^C d".

(reverse-i-search)`ld': levels(ftpain3) <-
list(none="none",intermediate=c("mild","medium"),severe="severe")
It snaps out of it if you press ^C twice.
If try typing after a ctrl-C in reverse search mode , nothing
displays, and the console beep sounds. It doesn't matter how many
times I press ctrl-C, the same happens.
I think this depends on what is in your history. At least typing 's'
should do something if you had an 'ls()' previously.
The only way out of it is to press either enter (which shows the
previously highlighted command ls and then runs it) or to use the up
key, and then ctrl-C.
Now that is actually true for me too. I must have hit "up" after the 2nd
^C.
I'm using Ubuntu Hardy.
And I Fedora 9, but I'm pretty sure this is generic to systems that use
libreadline.
