Abort calculation by Ctrl-C closes Octave

When using Octave 3.0.1 on Vista, pressing Ctrl-C to abort a lengthy calculation closes Octave. I'm sure pre-3.0.0 versions didn't do this, also Ctrl-C works fine on 3.0.0 under Gnu/Linux.

How do I abort a lengthy calculation without closing Octave?

Thanks.

Ctrl-C handling does not work well under Windows, because of the
way this is handled on such platform (and also probably because
nobody really understands the related code in octave sources).
There's no real solution for the time being. The fact that Ctrl-C
will work or not is random.
