color problem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.get colortest script from http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1349
2.execute the script in a mintty 1.03 window
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the script shows all 256 colors in the window - works as expected on a putty 
0.62 session to a linux box with xterm color 256 setup as needed.
All of the colors show correct in mintty 1.03 as well except for [38;5;139m 139 
:af/87/af
which only prints the text.
What versions of mintty, Cygwin/MSYS, and Windows are you using?
mintty 1.03

Please provide any additional information below.
Thank you for the wonderful work you have done on this.

I can reproduces this on MSYS, but not on Cygwin, so I assume you're on MSYS 
and I think this is the MSYS bug discussed here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27928948

Every now and then, the MSYS DLL swallows the first character on a line, which 
here affects the ESC at the start of a colour control sequence. Hence you get 
to see the rest of the control sequence instead of a colour change.
