I cannot reproduce this problem.  My machine happily reboots when I
press Ctrl-Alt-Del inside Bash.  It was in DOS 5.0, but I doubt if the
version of DOS has anything to do with this.

Is it possible that you have some TSR installed that interferes with
warm reboots, or catches the keyboard interrupt?  Try rebooting clean
(no CONFIG.SYS and no AUTOEXEC.BAT) and see if the problem persists.
