Peculiar ... must be "Henri" problem then :-P
Installed Cygwin afresh ... (Erik, using the official tool! - setup-x86_64.exe)
- I get the same result (for both the current cygwin1.dll and the modified one)
- enter alt-234,
followed by a backspace, followed by a linefeed, results in dash complaining
- enter alt-234,
followed by TWO backspaces (which eats part of the prompt), followed by
a linefeed, leaves dash at peace ...
Regards,
Henri
