Re: pty handling under cygwin broken?

I recently changed the pty handling code, but it's very system

you could debug this yourself, or give access to your system, or
provide clues.
does configure find the correct pty functions?
It seems to me cygwin should use the libc interface, and so getpt()
should be called to create a pty. You could try debugging this to see
where it goes wrong.
This resurrects pty handling under cygwin.
Thanks for the push Martin :-)
