Hi Chris,

The function ReadConsoleW(...) in emu.cpp on line 1207 returns error 
code 8. The code snippet where it goes wrong is:

if (!ReadConsoleW(
            hConsole,
            pWideBuffer,
            WideSize - 1,
            &numCharsRead,
            NULL // reserved
        ))
    {
        ::fprintf(stderr, "Failed to read from console: error %d\n",
            GetLastError());
        return -1;
    }

hConsole = 3
WideSize = 0
numCharsRead = 0

Do you know what is wrong?
