Hi!

Thu Jan 22 18:46:40 1998  Ian Lance Taylor  <ian AT cygnus DOT com>

        * tty.h (class tty): Change slave_handles to int.
        * tty.cc (fhandler_tty_slave::open): Check for invalid tty
        handles.  If this is the first slave, set slave_handles to 2;
        otherwise, increment slave_handles.
        (fhandler_tty_slave::close): Only close the tty handles if the
        slave_handles field drops to 1.

This changes fools rxvt. Rxvt does the following:

pty = open("/dev/ptmx");
slave = ptsname(pty);
lstat(slave);
tty = open(slave);

Lstat call implemented in cygwin as fd=open(name); fstat(fd); close(fd). 
This close call closes input_handle and output_handle in tty structure 
(because number of slaves drops to 1) and tty=open(slave) call fails. Ian, 
any ideas to fix it?
