(Ant 1.8.2, XP SP3)

Background:
I’m using ANT to pipeline my conversion of XML (Excel) to PDF via the command 
line. So I chunked up the various steps into separate project files and import 
into the build.xml. At one point an XSLT created a bat file to copy required 
SVGs locally for use in the PDF. The bat file was executed using the <exec> 
task. A requirement came up to strip the DTD declaration out all the SVGs, so 
instead of creating a simple bat file to copy each SVG required it was changed 
to create a build file. In the build file are <copy> tasks and <filterchain> 
<tokenfilter> to strip out the DTD declaration. This ANT build does not exist 
as part of the main build.xml but executed within right after it has been 
created via XSLT. Hopefully that is clearer than mud.

So here is the unexpected or unusual (at least to me) behaviour. When the copy 
SVGs ANT build is executed and I hit ctrl C to stop the process to check the 
few files that have been copied over, the copy SVG build is still running in 
the background even though the main build.xml has been stopped. Is this 
behaviour correct and expected? I’m just curious more than anything and am not 
really looking for a solution. (To stop it copying I open the task manager and 
terminate the java task running.)
