Yes, this was fixed for Solaris (in openssh 2.2.0?).

The problem for Solaris was that the control-c didn't work once you had
logged in (as you say). The code was missing setting INTR to its default
value. I.e. a previous disabling of INTR (or INT?) was still effective. (As
far as I remember that is a vague description of the problem :-) The
archives will have the details.)

However, I have no idea about HPUX (don't use it here), although the problem
does sound similar. Sorry.
