Yeah, that'd be my guess. Based on absolutely no actual knowledge, I'd guess
maybe it has a line buffer and auto-flushes it on eol, so writing to it as a
stream with no windows eols would overrun it?

This (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/faq7.html) leads me to think
that someplace there is a "don't buffer me you stupid console" flag which should
maybe be set.

Not that it's relevant, but my googling for cmd.exe buffering wierdness turned
up this nice link as well - apparently if you print out tab-backspace-backspace
you reboot the machine! ;-)
