Please don't hurry to release 2.6.8 officially.
Unfortunately this test on Windows returns (NIL NIL NIL)
instantly without waiting for further input:

(NIL NIL NIL)

And result is the same in mingw console
(kind of rxvt port) and Windows console (cmd.exe).
On the other hand in mingw console

while in cmd.exe

(#\Return #\Newline #\1)

23456

In any case I'd like to have a chance to test
final 2.6.8 but before official release with Maxima
on both Linux and Windows.
