Cygwin treats '> /dev/stderr' as a request to truncate /dev/stderr (or,
for that matter, any opening of a file under /proc/self/fd).  Other
platforms treat that as a special file that can never be truncated, but
is instead reopened at the same offset.

Maybe cygwin can be taught that opening a file through /proc/self/fd
should preserve rather than reset offsets, but it will be a tricky
patch, and someone has to write it.
