It's working here. Just tried it with a 'configure' script.

Signals are left untouched on the way to the child command's exec() 
call, which means the child process will inherit MinTTY's set of ignored 
signals. How are you invoking MinTTY?

Would people like to see this behaviour changed so that all child 
process signal handlers are reset to SIG_DFL?

I think that's because bash disables pty signal generation and processes 
control characters directly.
