Ok. I found some in
src/colinux/os/winnt/user/reactor.c:60

In "packet_read_async" it's loop without return on continues data
stream. An idea would be to remove the "while (TRUE)" and let it stop
after every ReadFile. Than the loops in console code can poll for keyboard.

The negative side effect would be, that some other daemons goes slower.
But perhaps this is alos better for other bidirectional pipes?

A mix between performance and as workarround we can do this:
