I had several problems after applying this patch.

1. I noticed some display glitches when building cygwin (with -j13 if that's 
relevant).  For example, there were some unexpected blank lines and indented lines.

2. At one point the build wouldn't complete at all.  It hung and had to be 
killed with Ctrl-C.

3. I used ssh from my normal account to log into an administrator account.  I 
ran a script that produced a lot of output and piped it to less.  I pressed 'q' 
after the first screen was displayed, and the displayed text didn't get cleared.

P.S. I'm leaving tomorrow for a short vacation, so I might not have time to 
review any more patches until I return in about a week.
