there's a forced AllocConsole() in cygwin inetd to allow some non-cygwin
applications to be run via ssh or telnet.
see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-03/msg00764.html for
details. won't your patch break this?

Maybe we just need some kind of api so that cygwin port of any
particular program can deliberately delete associated console?
