#64 Direct substitution using option number not allowed (cygwin)

I have been able to compile and use aspell (both
versions 0.50.3 and 0.50.1) with success under Cygwin,
using the following

./configure && make
make install

I am using Aspell from the shell, in the following way:
aspell -c foo.txt

The problem is that when I use aspell to check file, I
have a problem when trying to fix a word that is mispelled.

I can tell which word is mis-spelled because it is
sarrounded by stars (*), but when attempting to pick
one of the offered (numbered) choices, I'm told "Sorry,
this is an invalid choice."

Also, I have noticed that *it is possible* to change
the misspelled word by using:

r
With: <Option number> INTRO

However, in other versions of Aspell I have used (.32.6
alpha under Linux Red-Hat) this was not needed, and
pressing the option number directly would make the
substitution, which is much more convenient (1 vs. 3
keystrokes).

My question is:

Is this a bug under windows or cygwin or a feature? Is
there any way to change this behavior to avoid having
to press the 'r' key, so that it is possible to use the
option number directly (one keystroke only)?

Thanks.
