My apoligies: Martin Schmitt was had the correct answer -- basically
when using vim, put into your .vimrc file:
set cpoptions-=x
Here is his full response (thanks Martin!):

CANCELLING
You thought of executing a : or / command, but changed your mind. To
get rid of what you already typed, without executing it, press CTRL-C or
<Esc>.
Note:
<Esc> is the universal "get out" key. Unfortunately, in the
good old
Vi pressing <Esc> in a command line executed the command! Since
that
might be considered to be a bug, Vim uses <Esc> to cancel the
command.
But with the 'cpoptions' option it can be made Vi compatible.
And
when using a mapping (which might be written for Vi) <Esc> also
works
Vi compatible. Therefore, using CTRL-C is a method that always
works.
If you are at the start of the command line, pressing <BS> will cancel
the command. It's like deleting the ":" or "/" that the line starts
with.
------snap------
To disable this behaviour, put the following into your ~/.vimrc:
set cpoptions-=x

Have you already run "stty erase <BS>" with <BS> being an actual press
of the backspace key? If you always come from the same terminal, put
this into your .profile and you should be fine.
