I suspect that we are going to need more information.

Running on a fully updated FC3 box using Xfce's Terminal, gnome-terminal
and kconsole, I cannot duplicate this issue either as a user or as root
using sudo.

Attach the output of:

Was there a program running in R at the time, or were you at the R

Which desktop environment and terminal emulator are you using? 

Have you perhaps re-mapped ctrl-c using modified keybindings?
