Hi Peter,
  That was my patch applied back in 02/01/2003 and upon re-examining it, 
I believe this is an error.  The intended behavior was as follows:

1) When a baud rate of B0 is passed to tcsetattr(), it should not change 
the actual baud rate, but instead drop DTR.
2) In tcgetattr(), the presently set baud rate should be returned, 
regardless of the state of DTR.

My earlier patch violates #2.  I am sending a patch to fix this to 
cygwin-patches right now (CC'ing you, as well.)  Thanks for bringing 
this to my attention - I don't know what I was thinking that day :)
