Hi everyone,

I have encountered a problem while running a program which do sleep 
before prompting for input.
All the input characters that are entered during this time are not
entered into the input buffer so it is as I didn't enter them at all.

I have this small code which illustrates this problem.
This problem doesn't happen neither on UNIX nor on MSVC.
P.S. Instead of doing sleep I entered a big loop and it acted the same.

Any ideas ?
Thanks,



#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
    char st1[100];
    unsigned long i;

    printf("Type something !\n");
    for (i=0;i<50000000;i++);

    scanf("%s",st1);

    printf("You typed: %s\n",st1);
}
