For example, there is a windows command line application, slrn, (a nntp news reader), when it is started from mintty, it will report "unable to determine the screen size" and then exit. Another example is windows version of python, when start it from mintty, it will display nothing and never return unless I press Ctrl-C. Does anyone see the similar problems? Do you have a solution?
