I had the same problem, but when I updated to a more recent snapshot (from the Jan 15 one to a snapshot from Decemeber), it worked fine. I also use a newer version of bash. If you can't update to a newer snapshot, slowing down the key repeat speed in the Windows keyboard prefs also fixes the problem. -- Julian Kinraid -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
