winXP apps and CTRL/C under Cygwin?

RealProducer, an audio/video encoder (free) from Real Networks, running
under XP takes an aborting CTRL/C to mean save the file encoded so far
and quit.

If you run it under Cygwin under XP instead, Cygwin intercepts the
CTRL/C and kills off RealProducer without giving it a chance to save
its output.

Is there a way under Cygwin to get this aborting signal through to
RealProducer? Or am I forced to run under a DOS window.

For the record, in a Cygwin window, encode an hour to temp.rm :

$ producer -ac 0 -am voice -d 1:0:0 -ad /cygwin/home/rhh/realproducer/codecs/8kv.rpad -o temp.rm -pid /cygwin/tmp/encode.pid

Killing it and saving output, from another Cygwin window

$ '/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Real/RealProducer Basic 11/samples/utilities/producer_signal_generator/signalproducer' -p `cat /tmp/encode.pid` -a stop
