I cannot reproduce this error in either 21.4 or 21.5.  In both cases,
comint-interrupt-subjob worked normally for me.  Please do M-x
report-emacs-bug so we can get more information about your environment.
Also, since you have a locally modified shell.el and/or comint.el, you'd
better tell us about your modifications, too, since they may be
affecting this problem.
