The problem is that the patch shifted processing from the pty master to
the slave, but the slave isn't necessarily a well-behaved Cygwin process.
I think we should move opost processing back to the master side. Would
it be much of a problem to restructure your patch to do that, without
re-introducing the old problems your patch fixed?
Thanks,
Corinna
