I noticed that more changes were checked in that looked like they might 
address this, so I tested again with the latest snapshot (20130123).

I wasn't able to reproduce any of the symptoms I previously reported.  Yay!

However, just as I was about to give up testing, I hit one more new 
issue.  One of the ctrl-c events sent bash into what appeared to be an 
infinite loop emitting error messages like these:

11408974 [unknown (0x144C)] bash 1752 exception::handle: Error while 
dumping state (probably corrupted stack)
11411584 [unknown (0x144C)] bash 1752 exception::handle: Error while 
dumping state (probably corrupted stack)

While this was going on, hitting ctrl-c had no discernible effect.  I 
resorted to killing the process via task manager.

This only occurred once, I wasn't able to get it to happen again.

Tom.
