My apologies.  I have seen threads on the cygwin list which often end
with `but it works fine with NT', and jumped to the wrong conclusion.
In fact, after trawling the cygwin list archive, I can find no mention
of specific /dev/null problems on any win32 architecture.

So the original patch, with 's%exec > con%exec > /dev/null%', looks good
to me.

Gary.
