ping ignores ^C when host is not responding

["burning shadow" <burning dot shadow at gmail dot com>]

I cannot interrupt ping when host is not responding. I have to kill it
from another session. If host is responding, I can interrupt ping with
^C. Look:

shadow@loshadka:~$ which ping
/usr/bin/ping

shadow@loshadka:~$ cygcheck ping
