I'm afraid I don't know about those locked files, but in any case this sounds more like a general Cygwin question. When you press Ctrl-C or Ctrl-\, MinTTY simply writes the corresponding control character to the pty device connecting it to its child process. The terminal driver normally turns that into a SIGINT or SIGQUIT, but applications can override that, or choose to ignore signals. Also, Cygwin can't deliver signals while a program is executing a Win32 function.
