Re: mintty: Ctrl-Q does not work?

I type

cat [some long ascii-file]

then Ctrl-S (output stops), then Ctrl-Q (terminal hangs, can only be terminated by closing the window).

Using minty 1.1.2 and 1.7.16(0.262/5/3) 2012-07-20 22:55 i686 Cygwin

Can anybody reproduce this?

Yes, and it seems to be an issue with cat, not mintty:

cat x           hangs
grep . x        works
cat x | grep .  works
grep . x | cat  hangs for seconds repeatedly even without ^S

Killing the cat process sometimes works (releasing mintty),
sometimes it claims "No such process" although it's in the task table (ps).
