Yes, I can reproduce the hang with 4.3.0-50 (actually, I used xemacs not xterm)
but it does not hang in 4.3.0-63. After I drop the X selection it is no longer
in the Windows clipboard, so that I cannot paste into Notepad. I don't know if
this is consistent with cut and paste on a native X desktop, but it is a massive
improvement over hanging. Thanks!
