   No, I haven't.  I was not even aware that it's there ...   
      
   But, I think I've narrowed down on the cause: By replacing the text sourcing   
   program with something else the problem disappears.    Also, that program is   
   legacy, traveled with me from my DOS times ...   It appears to somehow   
   either interfere with the screen, or, as VanguardLH suggested, with the   
   stream outputted by the MORE program (gobbling-up its stdout stream as long   
   as it runs ?).   
      
   In short, its appears not to be either the "more" program nor the display   
   driver, but just a legacy program being oblivious to the possibility that a   
   piped-to program can run while it itself is also (still) running (which was   
   not possible in the era of DOS, nor of the command consoles of earlier   
   versions of Windows).   
      
   So, it looks I have to replace that legacy program.   
      
   Regards,
