Well, it still doesn't work.  I tried exporting and importing a flight using
-native... with the released windows binary and it exhibits the same
behavior as the source release.

I think I might have goofed... I compiled simgear without __MINGW32__
defined.  I'm in the process of recompiling the lib; I'm pretty sure that's
what was tripping things up.  

Thanks,
Vance

It could be that process() is reading the entire file the first time.

This makes sense in the context of a net connection where you want to 
grab all pending messages and just use the most recent one, but doesn't 
make sense in the context of a file obviously.  "file" should be special 
cased, but perhaps it's been overlooked for the native protocol?
