Console buffer jumble

I found a problem with the new snapshots. If you

1. start Cygwin with "Cygwin.bat"
2. enter "man bash"
3. enter down arrow then up arrow, or Page Down then Page Up

Normally this would just scroll through the man page. However with these new
snapshots it is creating a jumble in the console, notice the username mixed in
with the output of "man"
