--- Comment #12 from Chris chris.kcat@gmail.com 2008-11-13 04:55:51 --- This sounds suspiciously like a problem I encountered with conio functions. The problem was when it's run from a host shell with wine (even 'wine cmd' where you get a win32 prompt in a host shell), then wine would treat stdin as a file pipe and behave differently than it would with normal stdin (usually by not blocking and not reading input even when given it). However if it's run from a "proper" win32 console (eg. 'wine start cmd' as opposed to 'wine cmd'), it would work as expected.
IIRC, AJ said this was fixable, but not trivial to do.
