Subject: CYGWIN=codepage:oem read() patch
To: cygwin AT sourceware DOT cygnus DOT com

Hi cygwin developers,

thank you very very much for the cygwin=codepage:oem option.

The display is ok now, but when you getchar() resp. read() special characters
from the console, you get false results.

In winsup/cygwin/fhandler_console.cc, function fhandler_console::read,
every character > 127 is translated to ansi codepage.

My suggestion to fix this follows at the end of this mail.
It ist based on cygwin-1.1.7-1 without any snapshot.

Best regards.

- Lars A. Wuerfel
