Solar,

Shinnok's experiments seem to reveal a problem or two in core john.

I reattached Shinnok's patch because it was not easily visible in
mutt.

The possible problems:

- SetConsoleCtrlHandler(NULL, FALSE); may be needed to enable ctrl-c
correctly, I guess john core wants to handle ctrl-c,

- __CYGWIN32__ macro may be obsolete in new cygwin and/or 64-bit
cygwin (I don't know) so signal handling does not work there at all.

Thanks!
