The following program demonstrates what looks to me like a bug in the "read" function in an xterm (as opposed to a Cygwin console window). To run the test, compile with:
gcc -g -o xtermbug.exe xtermbug.c
When you run it in a console window, you can enter normal keyboard characters, then a return to see "cmdline=<what you typed>". Press the Esc key to exit the program.
Unfortunately I'm seeing exactly the same problem too, and have so for some time. I've also noticed that a read() giving a particular length will ignore the length field and actually read more data in some cases.
Peter provided a test case which I used to diagnose a problem with Cygwin. I fixed the problem and released a new version of cygwin which fixed the problem so it is unlikely that this is exactly the same problem.
Please provide a simple test case which shows your specific problem.
And, also please provide the details mentioned at http://cygwin.com/problems.html .
