"type ahead" bug with cygwin

[Robert Body]

Yes Samuel, I am sure, I just tried it now, and it's been a couple of Cygwin 
restarts since last time.

I type a command "g geo" which runs 3 scripts deep to accomplish TGZipping, 
FTPing and then SSHing as part of file upload process. During that time 
(which happens during FTPing, the longest process) i type another command "g 
answers" <enter>

When "g geo" completes I even press <enter> (again), but nothing is present 
to take action, my up-key history confirms that indeed "g answers" never 
registered as a command, even though it echoed as I originally typed.

It could be the 3 levels deep script mechanism that's losing the input, but 
i believe that a regular Unix/Linux would keep the info present and execute 
the new command upon first one's completion.

This is not the first time it happened, it's 100% consistent to fail.
