class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed.

PuTTY 0.60 for Windows can lock up when using the serial backend and there is simultaneous input and output.

For instance, doing more /var/adm/messages to a Unix system and pressing and holding 'j' to scroll is reported to be sufficient to cause the session to lock up.
