Why do ^C tests fail on linux?

There is a test in pthreads.exp which sends "continue", then
sends "^C", to see if it can interrupt the child process.
I discovered that it is only passing thru an expect failure,
and if you make expect/dejagnu do the right thing, the test fails.
Since I know that there is another test in the testsuite that
tests the same thing (interrupt.exp), I checked to see if that
was also failing, and discovered that it has been xfailed for
i*86-pc-linux-gnu since 1996, with no comment to explain why.
Does anybody have any idea why this would not be working on linux?
