Must be a Windows (non-Cygwin) program.  Ctrl-C should still work, but it
would be interesting to strace the bash that invokes the program to see
what happens on Ctrl-C.

FYI, if you know the PID (cf "top"), you could use "/bin/kill -f WINPID"
to achieve the same effect as the task manager's "End process" button.
