Time to think this thru. You have not convinced me yet, see below.
And it's my time and my disgression how I spend it.

What are you talking about, there are no zombies here.

I managed to get hold of an old laptop running Windows XP and I can't reproduce
this here: If I Ctrl-C the above example at the prompt, both the parent 
and the child get killed, so I don't see the point. 
If the script has set up a SIGINT handler, it is executed. Yeah, the cleanup
in the parent isn't run in this case, but it isn't on *nix either.
Also, there's no harm in leaving some temp files around.

Nope, _ignoring_ SIGINT is unexpected behaviour.
