Now that I know about the rxvt paste problem, i went back to working on 
the NT-console.  I can't produce any 'lock-ups' there.  Only some very 
confusing output.  It seems that when it decides to run a process in the 
background, it will still read part of the next line before the 
background process steals stdin.
