With the 990805 snapshot, using bash, pressing Ctrl-C now

another bash locks everything up on Win95.

With the 990805, using sh as a login shell, Ctrl-C will
s l o w l y produce a prompt. In a subshell, only one Ctrl-C
will seem to be accepted, then all output to the console from
every command slows to v e r y s l o w c r a w l .
