Two different people have reported to me, and I have observed over their
shoulders, that "darcs record" fails to respond when you hit "y" after it asks
you if you want to record a patch.  If you then hit Enter (I think), it exits
out complaining about an error in hSetBuffering.  Relevant facts:

1.  If you switch from bash under cmd.exe to bash under rxvt.exe then this
problem goes away.  (But then you get other problems [otherbugs325].)

2.  If you switch from cygwin-wrapper.ba.sh to realdarcs.exe the behavior is
unchanged.

3.  The behavior depends upon the repository state in some way -- it happens
100% reproducibly when trying to record from some states, but when trying to
record from other states the record works normally.

4.  We have never seen this buffering problem when interactively choosing which
patches to push in "darcs push".

Zooko, please mark Windows-specific bugs.

Please see the patch in issue41.

For info, this is the patch in question (darcs 1.0.9)
