My WIN32 app is compiled under vc7 and uses signal() to trap SIGINT, SIGABRT
and SIGTERM. If I run the application under console2 or a native terminal,
pressing ^C triggers the handler and the application stops programmatically
due to a state change made by the handler.
When I do the same under rxvt (not the X based one) or minTTY, the ^C stops
the process without the signal handler executing. Similarly, even when run
from the native console, kill (-INT, -ABRT, -TERM) causes the application to
end without the handler catching the signal.
So I wonder if the native console passes the character to the process directly
whereas the minTTY/rxvt shells interpret it and send a signal that the native
app doesn't really understand properly.
