I just moved a few weeks ago, so the only Windows machine I had real
access to isn't with me anymore. I can test Linux and some BSD stuff,
but I can't do Windows right now. I was hoping you or somebody else

now and we could use FlushConsoleInputBuffer or whatever else we can
find next version or alpha etc.)
