The last have problems, if ntconsole will detach while the testprogramm
is running. The "Sleep" loop must end, if the console will detach. New
executables and the patch no-reactor-read-loop-v3.patch does it:
http://www.henrynestler.com/colinux/testing/devel-0.8.0/20080511-ntconsoleflood/

Is commited as SVN revision 1046.

By the while: WindowsXP can also bring in the troubble. Run taskmanager
and select the tabbed "System performance". Runs the test program. Than
open the contect menu inside the ncconsole text with right mouse key.
Don't select any, only leave this menu opened. As long the context menu
is opened, the old coLinux version adds many new messages into the
queue. Kernel memory and swap file is incrasing. After 5 minutes got an
interesting message: "...system32/lsass terminated. Windows is shuting
down in 60 Seconds...". - Windows XP reboots fairly. :-)
