I can't say a lot about the FIFO stuff, but as far as these weird hangs,
busy or not busy, are concerned, they were one of the problems we
tackled in the last couple of days.  Personally I ran a lot of tests now
and I can't reproduce these hangs anymore with 1.7.10.  I had a spurious
hang when starting tcsh from mintty two days ago but I couldn't
reproduce this one either since then.
