And, FYI, I have been merrily trying to deal with my "simple" change
of adding a path_conv call to build_fhandler. It has had some really
amazing repercussions throughout the code which I'm sure make merging
harder.
I must have unconsciously known that raw devices were a bag of worms
since I was asking other people to test them. Chuck's findings earlier
today showed that I couldn't just ignore devices and hope that they
just worked.
Anyway, I have been making (I think) an unusual number of changes to
the cygwin core lately. I'm sorry if I'm making merging harder. I
hope to stop this soon. I want to release 1.3.4 but it should actually
work when I do so.
