OK, I see that this is not just a Windows problem.  It's a Qt problem, 
because when Octave is sleeping the terminal is not getting any input, 
so it doesn't respond to Ctrl-C.  I guess the fix for this is maybe 
something like what is outlined here,

  http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/unix-signals.html

but I don't know for sure, I haven't tried it.
