Thank you, but that unfortunately does not work on this list. Due to the
policy to never reply-to-all, the subsequent replies immediately lost me.

The reason why MSYS2's Bash does not depend on the `libreadline` package
is that `bash.exe` is linked _statically_ to that library.

Takashi, for the record, I find it hard to believe that the bug is
libreadline's because Orgad's scenario works if he reverts that patch in
the _MSYS2 runtime_, _and_ it is rather dubious that libreadline would
potentially do anything that makes a call to `GetProcessWindowStation()`
not fail but _crash_.

These console patches sure are gifts that keep on giving.

Ciao,
