Probably not. I have (probably) not changed things which should change
this behavior.


I cannot test right now since I have no Win32 machine available. But
perhaps you could try this: In the Src/io.c file (line 25) there is
a line
  # define TCL_EVENT_FLAG TCL_DONT_WAIT /* (FIXME) */

I don't really remember why I had used this flag (probably for the
3.1.1 release where the inputs were done in a separate thread).
Try to define it to
  # define TCL_EVENT_FLAG 0

Please tell me if it works.
