I think that might be special treatment of SIGINT.  Have you tried it
with SIGTERM?

If I remember correctly, Control-C is emulated on Win32 in a way that
passes the signal to the console, which passes it to all processes on
the console.  (This is exactly what happens if you hit Control-C on
the keyboard.)  If your parent ignores SIGINT, then you should be able
to kill the child with it.
