Thanks, that's an important piece of evidence.

So, it seems that (once again) COMMAND.COM is doing something that other 
shells don't.  The question is: what that thing is?

You said in previous messages that you looked at the DOS calls issued by
COMMAND.COM and didn't see anything special.  What *did* you see?  In
particular, were there any IOCTL calls (Int 21h/AH=44h) which reference
the console device?
