Having it makes it much easier to fix run.exe > appropriately... I would be somewhat surprised if this code would have any effect in the trunk. The code in question looked like this: if (!wincap.pty_needs_alloc_console () && newargv.iscui && myself->ctty == -1) { si.dwFlags |= STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW; si.wShowWindow = SW_HIDE; } Given that pty_needs_alloc_console() is false only on 9x, and is always true on NT, the above code was only executed on 9x. Since 1.7 dropped 9x support, the code could go away. Shoot if I missed something.
