Code in Main Thread Still Executes After Issuing CTRL+C Command

CAUSE

If there is a read outstanding to a console device and CTRL+C is pressed, the Input/Output is cancelled and the read is completed. The thread that issued the read then continues to run. Sometime later, the CTRL+C event is delivered (in a different thread) to the Control Event handler which usually causes the process to exit. The problem is that various amounts of code can execute in the primary thread before the process ever exits. The amount of code that is executed depends on the platform speed and processor.
