I had the same problem, but when I updated to a more recent snapshot
(from the Jan 15 one to a snapshot from Decemeber), it worked fine.  I
also use a newer version of bash.  If you can't update to a newer
snapshot, slowing down the key repeat speed in the Windows keyboard
prefs also fixes the problem.
