I'll look into this, but could you please see if the binary I made indeed 
masks exceptions?  Try Ctrl-C several times while the child runs: the 
stock binary should say "*** Interrupt", the new one should mostly say 
nothing (unless you are very lucky and a quick typist) when you set 
W2KBUG.

(I'm thinking that perhaps I have some bug in the way I toggle exceptions, 
and we are drawing wrong conclusions.)
