MSVC Console app - two enters?

[LuckY]

Please tell me if I'm losing my mind. It has become increasingly clear that whenever I create a console app in VC it requires two enters to read data (from cin). I compile the same source with borland and have no problem. Are you familiar with this odd happenstance or am I merely losing my mind? How would one go about fixing it?

Just to prove I'm not crazy (or for that matter, that I am), I'm attaching a tiny VC project to demonstrate...

Btw, I'm using VC6. This problem never used to happen before I upgraded..

[edit]
Hmm.. I was just thinking.. This is talking about MSVC which is why I posted on the Windows board, but it's a console app, so perhaps it should be moved by one of you helpful administrators... ?

Also, take a look at STLPort as a replacement for Microsoft's STL implementation.
