That happens when CTTY is not assigned. In that case fhandler_nodevice
is assigned at:
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=newlib-cygwin.git;a=blob;f=winsup/cygwin/dtable.cc;h=18e0f3097823f00ff9651685be06583818eb2140;hb=e38f91d5a96c4554c69c833243e5afec8e3e90eb#l634

Then fhandler_base::fstat() is called when stat() is called.
