i'm sorry, but i just had this question and i thought you might be able to
help me.

if i write a simple java program that uses a BufferedReader reader object
wrapped from System.in and then try to read a line from user and then echo
it back, cygwin for some reason already has stuff on the stream and so
without waiting for the user to type something in the program fetches that
and prints it out (it is usually) just a newline.  why does this happen!

i know it's not the program because it works in djgpp and other platforms.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks.
