Hmmm... ok, well ctrl-c would usually stop the process. Ctrl Z puts it 
in the background.

It may be that the ctrl-c attempted to kill the process so the kernel 
was having a think about that, you then put it in the background but it 
was going to try to kill it for you from the ctrl-c and so won't let you 
kill it again...

Alternatively try being root?
