1.7.32: bind-utils-x86_64 commands can't redirect output on Win8.1 64bit

Windows 8.1 64bit
setup.exe 2.850
bind-utils 9.9.6-2 9.9.5-3

Run this: dig www.google.com | cat
Expected: the output of dig
But was: empty

and the same empty result for:

* dig www.google.com > test.txt ; cat test.txt
* a=$(dig www.google.com) ; echo $a

Other commands in bind-utils (nslookup, host) have the same empty
result, while their 32bit version works just fine (on Windows 8.1
64bit).

Other 64bit package works fine, for example openssl, curl, etc. So I
think probably there is a bug in bind-utils.

Thanks
