1. According to MSDN - CTRL+C have a special behavior only for console applications. For GUI - developer should manually catch and process corresponded windows message (CTRL+C is not generates SIGINT for the gui apps).

2. About "it doesn't run properly without the parent app and does not exit", etc...

Child still run properly, can receive signals, print something to console, but parent has been exited - so console become free for user input. I can type and execute another console command. But child process still attached to this console instance and his output become mixed with new commands, etc...

Another thing - if I use something like this:

print 'Press ENTER to continue...';
<STDIN>;

this not works. I think - this is because console catch <ENTER> key press and process it without sending to the child process. Or maybe STDIN for child process become closed.

All this problems are not observed if parent process is attached to the console.
