interfering with X forwarding.)
Details of bug: the event object used as the target of
WSAEventSelect is created in such a way that it is automatically
reset when it releases a thread from WaitFor*Objects. Subsequently,
a read on the first socket in the list causes another network event
if not all the available data was read; thus the event object is set
again. Then, WSAEnumNetworkEvents is called again for the _second_
socket, and is passed the network event, which it therefore resets.
So an event has been dropped, and things only get restarted when
some more data arrives on the first socket.

This is the README for PuTTY, a free Win32 Telnet and SSH client.
The provided Makefile is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake' to
build both putty.exe (the main program) and pscp.exe (an SCP
client). The comment at the top of the Makefile gives extra build
options you can use to build in limited Win32s compatibility, a hack
to pass SSH through some types of firewall, and `official' version
numbers.
MS Visual Studio version 6 falls over on the nasty macros in ssh.c.
This is a bug in Visual Studio. The culprit is the /ZI compiler
option (debug info generation: Edit and Continue). To avoid this
problem while compiling PuTTY under VS6, you should:
- right-click ssh.c in the FileView
- click Settings
- select the C/C++ tab and the General category
- under `Debug info:', select anything _other_ than `Program
Database for Edit and Continue'.
Alternatively disable the /ZI option, replacing it with a saner
value, such as /Zi.
For other compilers, some alternative Makefiles are provided. These
Makefiles are generated automatically from the master `Makefile' by
the Perl script `mkfiles.pl'. Additions and corrections to the
script are more useful than additions and corrections to the
alternative Makefiles themselves.

Bug reports and feature requests should be sent to

site about how to report bugs effectively. Do NOT send one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work'!
