EIO error on background tty reads


While working on my port of screen for cygwin, I have tracked down the issue
that did not allow me to reattach detached screens.

A detached screen process owns a certain tty to which the new, attaching
screen process connects to and reads/writes to.

Recent builds of cygwin return an EIO on a read from the tty, the following
small change fixes this, but I have to admit that
this is my first time swimming in the bowels of cygwin itself and I don't
know if this makes sense or not.
