This is nothing to do with RODBC, and not reproducible on any of my 
systems.

Investigate your unstated ODBC driver manager and driver for possible 
causes.  Something other than R has uninstalled the signal handler for 
SIGINT, and a rogue shared library is the likely cause.

And please learn to give credit where it is due, instead of blame where it 
is not.  (RODBC attracts far too many careless attributions of blame, this 
being the second just today.  Yet words of thanks are very, very thin on 
the ground.)
