Cygwin hangs up if several keys are typed during outputting a lot of texts.

Thanks, patch applied.

Btw., we have a regression in the latest PTY code in terms of some
native Windows tools.  I noticed this with `icacls':

With Cygwin 1.7.35:

  $ icacls xxx
  xxx VINSCHEN\corinna:(W,D,Rc,WDAC,WO,X,DC,RA)
      VINSCHEN\vinschen:(W,Rc,X,DC,RA)
      Everyone:(W,Rc,X,DC,RA)

  Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

With git HEAD:

  $ icacls xxx
  xxx VINSCHEN\corinna:(W,D,Rc,WDAC,WO,X,DC,RA)
						   VINSCHEN\vinschen:(W,Rc,X,DC,RA)
       Everyone:(W,Rc,X,DC,RA)

			      Successfully processed 1 files; Failed processing 0 files

This does not occur in a Windows console window, so it seems this has
been introduced by the PTY changes.

If you look into the output generated by icacls, you'll notice that it
only generates POSIXy LF line endings, not Windowsy CRLF.  The CRs
required to generate correct output are missing now for some reason, but
only for native, non-Cygwin clients.

Would you mind to have a look into this issue?


Thanks,
Corinna
