There IS a bug in certain versions of Windows wherein fast type-ahead that
occurs while the system is busy will be queued up in the incorrect order.
What I do not know is if it has ever been fixed, and if so in what version.
I know it exists in 95 (and probably its derivatives). It's documented in
the Kermit-95 pages at columbia.edu as a windows bug.
