That crash-on-keypress bug has been biting me for seems like months
now, over several versions, such that I had abandoned using full-screen
(aka console) mode altogether. (Happily, turns out that an 800x600 MOL
window on a 1024x768 screen is pretty useful, too . . .)

I just built today's rsync'd 0.9.59. Console works again! Woo-hoo!

Thanks, Samuel!
