Subject: win32tty hangs if you ^C at "Who are you?"

win32tty hangs if you ^C at "Who are you?"

From Newsgroups: rec.games.roguelike.nethack :
> <email deleted>
> Subject: question for windows tty users
>
> I am trying to hunt down a bug, and want to know if I have
> encountered another one of those bizarre "features" that only
> occur on my computer (I seem to get a lot of them).
>
> I can reproduce this bug, or whatever it is, in the official
> Windows binary like this: Start the tty version of NetHack by
> double clicking on the program. You won't see the bug if you
> start it from the command line. When the game asks, "Who are
> you?" press ^C. NetHack will respond with "^C abort. Hit
> <Enter> to end," and then it hangs. Pressing Enter does
> nothing, and the program does not end.
>
> Can anybody else reproduce this behaviour? Thanks in advance.
