Re: Who's using "CYGWIN=tty" and why?

So this brings us to Cygwin. When we spawn such a Windows mode app from
Cygwin, the method I describe above fails. The call to
_open_osfhandle(info.hStdOutput, _O_TEXT) returns with an error value of
-1. This is likely why jam reports "the handle is invalid".

PS. It would be interesting to find out why this fails. I would have expected that Cygwin/bash would have spawned the child process such that the inherited hStdOutput handle was open-able with _open_osfhandle().
