I wonder how many programs are still using low level access these days given that's more a throw over from the DOS days and most languages will have proper frameworks for reading and writing from the NT console. del et al being obvious exceptions because they're just cmd.exe builtins.
Unfortunately I don't have a Windows system to test that assumption but when I think about when I last did my testing, that was only against the cmd.exe builtins so it's possible this bug I was experiencing isn't as widespread as I assumed
