Starting with the 2011-05-05 snapshot, I can't start a shell under emacs. Here
are the steps to reproduce:
1. Start emacs in a mintty window.
2. Type<Alt-x>shell<enter>
This yields the following error message in the shell buffer:
sh: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
sh: no job control in this shell
The problem with the 2011-05-05 snapshot goes away if I build
cygwin1.dll myself. I used a CVS checkout as of 2011-05-05 22:31, which
seems to be cutoff for that snapshot. The last change in the ChangeLog is
2011-05-05 Christopher Faylor <...>
* cygheap.cc (cygheap::close_ctty): Close ctty via close_with_arch().
* debug.cc (close_handle): Call debugger on failure.

I don't understand this. I simply built cygwin1.dll according to the
instructions in the FAQ.
I haven't had a chance to build cygwin1.dll from later checkouts yet, so
I don't know if the problems with later snapshots will go away too.
