I use bash, and have never seen this behaviour (and can't reproduce it).
Is it something to do with whether your shell is set to be a login shell
or an interactive shell (or not)? There has been so much messing around
with .profile/.bashrc/.tcshrc etc., to try to get paths to work in X11
that you might now have a combination of settings such that the shell
thinks it ought to exit on signals that a login or interactive shell would
simply trap.
