Hi,

Thank you.

I reported several issues related to type-ahead (all of them happened
in MSYS, and some of them were not reproducible in cygwin), and they
were identified and fixed by @Takashi Yano in cygwin runtime.

Some issues are hard to reproduce, and I can't always reproduce them
on cygwin, but that doesn't mean the root cause is in MSYS patches.

Anyway, I'll try to reproduce with cygwin and report back.
