On page 25 of "Learning the bash shell", it says that ctrl-c should stop the current command. So this should do what I want, and it does sometimes. It looks like there is a small bug in this version of bash( bash 2.02.1(2) in Cygwin 20.1), because sometimes, to many commands get killed, including bash itself.

Should I report this as a bug?
