In my environment, at least with the scripts that I run
(interactively), I'm unable to run ksh for more than about 30 seconds
or a minute before this happens. Having to reset the console that
frequently prevents me from working effectively or productively within
UWIN.
It seems this problem must be due to a race condition. Perhaps
multiple processes reading/writing from the console simultaneously?
The scripts/programs I use tend to run many parallel processes, so, if
the problem is related to a race condition between multiple processes,
I may see this more frequently than others.

This has been a small irritant since I first started using uwin a
decade ago. Instead of resetting with the console properties, I
simply exit and start another instance, which is nearly always OK.
But I fail to see why this would render uwin "essentially unusable for
running an interactive 'ksh' shell."

I recently (11-Nov-2009) posted to the uwin-developers email list the
following:
I've been playing with the last few UWIN betas (including the version
recently released 11/2/2009) and have found that 'ksh' is sometimes,
unexpectedly changing the foreground font color to black. Since the
background color is also black, this makes it impossible to see text in the
'ksh' console window. Has anyone else experienced this? I haven't yet
isolated a reproducible test case. I've seen this on Windows 2003 64-bit
and, I think, Windows 2003 32-bit. When this happens, the foreground text
color can be manually reset via the console properties.
Several others replied that they have experienced this problem, but there
was no response from current UWIN developers. Has this issue been addressed
in the 04-Dec-2009 beta? If not, I would humbly advise holding off on the
release until this issue is isolated and corrected. For me, this issue
makes UWIN essentially unusable for running an interactive 'ksh' shell
(which is one of my primary requirements for a product such as UWIN). Is
this issue not experienced by (most) UWIN developers?
