The file descriptor (fd) is unchanged between working and non-working
code which suggests that the relevant descriptor table entry is not
being initialised. Try planting breakpoints at cyg_fd_assign() and
cyg_fd_alloc(). I expect these will be called in the case where cout is
working and the call stack may provide a clue as to what is triggering
the correct behaviour.
