Extra CR or LF when pressing return at bash prompt

Wed Oct 18 06:59:00 GMT 2000

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Cygwin so I apologise if this has been discussed before in a different guise, but I haven't been able to find a solution in the archives.
The following problem occurs when calling a standard Windows console application from within the cygwin bash shell, and does not seem to be a problem when calling "proper" Cygwin system tools.
The Windows application I'm trying to call prompts for various input data which it reads from stdin. From a DOS shell, this works well, but under Cygwin the first read from stdin is bypassed (as if the RETURN key was pressed) although the subsequent inputs work correctly. It seems as if pressing the RETURN key sends two key presses (CR and LF presumably), but that the shell only consumes one of these to start the program from bash. The other one is then used for the first input statement.
I can work around this by executing the command at the bash prompt by pressing CTRL-J rather than RETURN or CTRL-M.
Has anyone any ideas how to fix this properly, perhaps with a parameter to BASH or a change to "termcap". I have tried CYGWIN=binmode and nobinmode with no luck, and I have tried setting CYGWIN=tty, but this does not work (nor was it expected to after reading the mailing list archive).
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason Anderson
