GHCi reacting strangely and then crashing after pressing CTRL-C

I attempted to abort GHCi by pressing CTRL+C (I had started GHCi from a Windows 7 x64 CMD.exe command-line session). This led to some strange behaviour, namely an alternativ prompt by CMD.exe and then again by GHCi. Every time or every second time I pressed the [RETURN] key, the prompt changed from one to the other. After I executed the DIR command while being on the CMD.exe prompt, GHCi crashed.

(See attached console output log.)
