Sorry for all these followups. It looks, like the problem happens with programs,
that catch SIGINT (sh, gzip, gzcat) but not with programs, that leave it default
(cat, zsh). In the latter case, Zsh gets information about child being
interraupted by SIGINT and reacts correctly. In the former case, Zsh only knows,
that program (normally) exited for whatever reason.

Looks, like Zsh cannot rely on child info and must handle INT itself. I wonder,
how 3.0.5 behaves in this case.
