This is odd, since this is specifically how I tested cygwin prior to checking
everything in. I can't duplicate this.
I initially couldn't duplicate the 'tty' problem either, but after my
15th clean rebuild, I did see it. I don't know why I wasn't seeing it
before.
I've checked in a fix for the ttyname and a shot in the dark for the
mark_closed problems.
