What terminal are you using?  If it is the Windows console, then you need
to have CYGWIN=tty in your environment before starting bash to ensure
saner behavior of Ctrl-C (at the expense of possibly breaking Windows
native applications in the same console).  See
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/cygwin-ug-net.html#id4736242 or search
some recent threads on the issue.

Hint - following the problem reporting directions would have helped us
know right off whether you were using the Windows console:
