I am worried.  I need to instruct an IT department to install Cygwin.  I am
afraid that if I just tell them to run the installer, they will get an
unstable version.  I am afraid other new users will be in the same boat.

I am fine for myself: I am on Cygwin 3.07, it is a tank, and I can stay there
for the rest of the year if necessary.  That is not the issue.

Would it make sense for Disable_pcon (spelling?) to be the default, until the
new pty code settles down?
