Oops, I neglected to include an explanatory comment. Issuing simultaneous 
pwrite(s) on one file descriptor from multiple threads, as one might do in a 
forthcoming POSIX aio implementation, sometimes results in garbage status in the 
IO_STATUS_BLOCK on return from NtWriteFile(). Zeroing beforehand made the issue 
go away.

This is mildly concerning to me because there are many other uses of 
IO_STATUS_BLOCK in the Cygwin DLL that haven't seemed to have needed initialization.

Puzzledly,
