Cygwin's writev() non-standard behavior

["qq qq" <miska0000 at gmx dot com>]

writev() does not accept count 0 but it should

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/uio.h>

int main()
{
 Âstruct iovec vec;

 Âmemset(&vec, 0, sizeof(vec));
 Âif (writev(1, &vec, 0) < 0)
 Â Âperror("writev");
 Âreturn 0;
}

Linux:
$ gcc -Wall test.c
$ ./a.out

Cygwin:
$ gcc -Wall test.c
$ ./a.exe
writev: Invalid argument

This behavior is buggy per:

 Â Â Â EINVAL ... the vector count count is less than zero or greater than the permitted maximum ...
