I'm glad you could reproduce. Based on your description, this sounds like a separate issue and not a regression introduced by the workarounds you put in place for the ExitProcess / ExitThread race. Correct?

I wonder if this is the same issue I'm experiencing though. I'm only pressing ctrl-c once and it sounds like you might be deliving a ctrl-c to the same process multiple times. That may not be relevant to the root cause however.
