Ah, right, and in fact I'd missed the comment at line 325 pointing out
that we're relying on the sigsetjmp to be re-executed every time
through.  That could be improved on, likely, but not right before a
release.
Does the flag need to be global?  I'm thinking
  void
  setup_cancel_handler(void)
  {
+    static bool done = false;
+
+    if (!done)
          SetConsoleCtrlHandler(consoleHandler, TRUE);
+    done = true;
  }
