+ - Ctrl+C handling on Windows has been made more consistent with
+ other platforms. KeyboardInterrupt can now reliably be caught,
+ and Ctrl+C at an interative prompt no longer terminates the

+ created via the popen family are also interrupted (as generally
+ happens on for Linux/Unix). [SF bugs 231273, 439992 and 581232]
