Patch for console.fs to take the second, more conservative, option to fixing this bug. Applying this patch does NOT require updating the fsharp package to later upstream versions, and once the package is updated from upstream, this patch can be removed. Patch should apply cleanly on current master *and* master-experimental branches of the git://git.debian.org/pkg-cli-apps/packages/fsharp repo.
