  Here's a response to your earlier post.

  "I believe that..." isn't good enough.  *Do* the experiment, then report the
results.  And make a simplified testcase.  You're running three levels of
scripts, any one of which could be running any number of commands/utilities,
any one of which could be deliberately or inadvertently flushing or even just
reading in all of the keyboard input; it's a massive inference to just assume
that the cygwin dll is causing this, rather than one of the dozens of other
factors involved, and you haven't yet shown the evidence as to what's actually
*happening* here.  What you offer isn't enough; how could anyone else attempt
to investigate it from the description you give here?

    cheers,
      DaveK
