Simon Tatham 2fb3e26584 Fix multiple bugs in freeze/thaw of Windows handle-sockets.
Firstly, I had asserted that data would never arrive on a handle
socket in state FREEZING, which is just an error, because FREEZING is
precisely the state of not being quite frozen _yet_ because one last
read is still expected to arrive from the winhandl.c reading subthread
which it's too late to cancel. I meant to assert that it wasn't
FROZEN.

Secondly, when the handle socket was in state FREEZING, I failed to
actually _set_ it to FROZEN.

And thirdly, when the handle socket starts thawing again (i.e. there's
now outgoing buffer space so we can start sending our backlogged
data), I forgot to ever call bufchain_consume, so that the same block
of data would get sent repeatedly.

I can only assume that nothing I've ever done has actually exercised
this code!

PuTTY README
============

This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.

What should I do next?
----------------------

If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.

If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.

Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.

What do I do if it doesn't work?
