Exactly the same thing and differences between shells. I assume that
like Ctrl-G in Emacs, a Ctrl-C in gdb is intended to be just for gdb,
not for the parent processes, contrary to something like

  some_shell -c "sleep 3"; echo foo

where Ctrl-C is typed during the "sleep 3" (as expected, "foo" is
never output).
