If You can figure out why this works, we're in business.

On my Win95 box.

I made the following changes to exceptions.cc after applying your Signal
handling patch.
this eliminated the segv.
start bash
press <CTRL> C untill your fingers get tired ;^)
start an app
press <CTRL> C once, you will get a message box popup BASH caused an
invalid page fault in module BASH.EXE at XXXX.XXX
<C>lose the message box the foreground app is dead, and the bash prompt
comes back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I realize that this messes up exception handling, so it is probably not a
good permanent solution.

PS. just eliminaging k++; and if(k == 13), dosen't work, it kills bash
immediatly.

if(sig == SIGINT)
  k++;

  if (k == 13)
  {
    /* We are going down - reset our inuse_p. */
    u->self->record_death();
    ExitProcess (0);
    }

  /* FIXME: The original version had code here to reinitialize the
exception
     handler under the guise of initializing thread exceptions.  It's not
     clear what this code was ever intended to do.  */

/*  debug_printf ("ctrl_c_handler: returning 1\n"); */
/*  return 1; */

debug_printf ("ctrl_c_handler: returning 0\n");
return 0;
}
