Yes, I was thinking of a way around that. The patch I posted does not
verify whether stdin has been redirected. I implemented the change to get
Telnet working on Win32. Now that there is a fix, we can look into stdin
redirection.

You can use a asynchronous ReadFile call or else peek into the console to
see whether there is any input waiting. Alternatively, you would read the
stdin from a separate thread.
