Hi!

- pseudo-tty numbers are assigned correctly now, several rxvt sessions 
works.
- Enchanced SIGKILL handling. The process should be terminated even if in a 
blocking Win32 call.
- ps command displays process's Input/Output/Suspend status.
- exec()/spawn() syscalls no longer fails if argv[0] == NULL.
- raw floppy (/dev/fd0, /dev/fd1) support. You can now read/write tar 
floppies (for examle: "tar cvf /dev/fd0 /dir"). No multivolume tar 
support... (Why?). Probably, tapes (/dev/st0, /dev/st1) works now too. I 
have no tapes to check. Would you like to try? Warning: remount 
floppies/tapes in a binary mode!
- socket file descriptors are inheritted on exec() now right.
