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.

Please disregard this message. I did something stupid and didn't really test my build.

Sorry for the noise. I'll write again after doing some more careful testing.
