Just another confirmation that ctrl-z was the only "control key 
sequence" you could use to quit using the normal win32 builds. If you 
have used the cygwin package(s) they do use ctrl-d as it tries to 
emulate Unix (and unix terminals) and that may be the source of 
confusion if you remember using ctrl-d on a Windows box.
