Right.  That's what I do when I want the signal to be propagate.

I don't know if this is what is happening but, unfortunately, gdb only
understands windows signals.  Physically pressing CTRL-C is an event
which gdb will recognize as a "SIGINT".  Sending the process a SIGINT
via "kill" or some other method will not be recognized by gdb.
