Try the following:
>>> while 1:
        print 1
1
1
1
...

Not hit CTRL-C
IDLE will close

When hitting CTRL-C when IDLE is idle (huh), the regular 
KeyboardInterrupt is shown

This happens on Cygwin (but not on Linux)

I have just tried it using Python 2.5.2 under cygwin 1.5.25 and that did
not happen.

This looks like to be an issue with the cygwin you were using, not
python or idle. If you (Miki) are still around, please retry with a
newer cygwin and report it here, otherwise I can just see this being closed.

Happily(?) I don't use Windows anymore.
Closing it.
