Do you mean to say that the following series of commands typed from a
Windows 95 DOS box will end up not responding to your keystrokes?

	C:\> bash
	bash$ ls
	foo       bar
	....
	bash$           <<<< from here on it refuses to work anymore?

If you need a more complex way of getting into this situation, please
post an *exact* log of your Bash session, starting from the point
where you enter Bash.

Please also post your Bash-related configuration files (.bashrc etc.)
if you use them, and also try Ctrl-C and Ctrl-BREAK after it ``stops
accepting input'' and tell what happens then.

For the record, I don't see anything like this problem on Windows 95.

Please tell exactly what version of Windows is that (it's in the
Control Panel's "General" tab).  Did you ever try on other versions of
Windows 95, or can try now?

What are these?
