What is not working exactly? If I hit ctrl+C the program will exit If I do ssh www.google.com ssh hangs, and hitting ctrl+C will let ssh exit I don't think that this is an SSH bug, it is the standard behavior of a TCP connection when no ICMP is sent back and the packets are just dropped on the other side.
