When command or filename completion (^Z) is interrupted in progress
with ^C, pressing ^C again results in a beep: it does NOT abort entering
the current command as it would have if command completion had not
been aborted.

Repeat by:

  z ^Z ^C ("beep beep") ^C ("beep")
  ^     ^
  |     |
  |     +--- press this quickly, before the completion finishes
  this could be any character or string

compare to 

  z ^C (erases current line, redisplays prompt)

What should happen:

  z ^Z ^C ("beep beep") ^C (erases current input line, redraws prompt)
