Nope.  It wasn't supposed to fix that problem.  TTYs in CYGWIN32 are
implemented using pipes.  I suspect that more thinks that since its
standard output is a pipe, it should not be doing its normal page
operations.  I don't think there *is* a way to fix this problem.

My CYGWINB19.DLL was supposed to fix problems with using programs
like ftp.exe which didn't wait for input.
