I just tried a simple test, created about 100 lines of text, all of them 
"cat hhhh".  Then copied them into the clipboard and pasted them into an 
NT shell running bash.  I've appended the important part of the output. 
  At the end of this, bash is dead (still shows up in ms-task manager, 
but doesn't respond to anything (including ^C).  I was able to reproduce 
this in rxvt as well but it took much longer, and ^C sort-of worked. 
After the ^C, I got back to a prompt, but then I tried to run "ps" and 
rxvt immediately exited.  I have been unable to reproduce using strace.
