[Cialug] Bash 4.1 question

On one of my machines, when i type ctrl-c bash prints "^C" and then 
starts a fresh command prompt on the next line. On other machines 
(including SSH sessions), it doesn't print the "^C"... it just starts a 
new prompt on the next line.

Any idea what variable i have to set to change the one machine to match 
the others? That is, to *not* print "^C"?

Googling for the obvious terms is not very helpful... as you might 
imagine "ctrl-c",  "control-c", "^c" and other variants are a bit too 
popular of search terms.
