You'd need to use overlapped I/O for those situations. If you do that
then you'd have to decide whether you want gdb to work on Windows 9x/Me
or not.
As you may recall this is the reason why I don't want to become to
actively involved in supporting MinGW. I already solved these problems
once in Cygwin. I don't want to solve the problem again in gdb.
