1.3.10: Problem with keyboard handler (termios?)


There seems to be a weird problem with the stdio input handler within
cygwin.

In the bash shell, the lnext escaping works fine:  If I try
% echo ^V^W

I get a control-W coming out (which is what I would expect).

Now, if I try this:
% read a
^V^W
% echo $a

You will see that no control-W is echoed.  It seems that there is no way
of bypassing the input filtering on the STDIO stream from the input side.

This seems to even happen if you pass "notty" in the CYGWIN environment
variable.  

Is there a workaround?  I can turn off icanon, but this has undesired effects
also.
