----
	It's not that it should exit -- but it used to abort the input
of the current line, and give you a new one --

	I managed to find a combination of stty settings that worked
around it with a side effect of killing any window I press control-C
in if a program is 'stuck'... i'm running bash inside of 'console.exe',
and if I have a program that hangs, pressing control-c kills the prog,
bash and the window -- well -- at least it kills it -- not an idea
change.

I stuck "stty echoctl ignbrk" in my .bashrc, to get the current behavior
which results in bash reverting to it's normal behavior (controlC aborts
current line or kills a shell script waiting for input...), with
the side effect noted above...

Hopefully it will get fixed...
