   Interesting.  It's also happening on the NeXT -- I never saw characters get
   misordered, but one or two characters from the first three (sometimes the
   first and the third) get dropped.  This happens not only while switching
   windows: going back to a key window running bash after it's been idle for a
   while (and probably got swapped out to make room for background processes)
   does it.  Almost every time.

   On NeXT, too.

I'm sorry that this bug appeared in 1.03.  I will be posting patches for
this and a few other fixed bugs on Friday, Sep 8.

Thanks for being patient.
