"the Windows console window you get through cygstart is not [a pty]"
Ah, so /that's/ what I recently read uncomprehendingly! Thanks for
tracking down this concise explanation. Assuming that's right, then,
I wonder: what is it?
What is what? This Windows console? It's... well, it's a... um, it's
a Windows console! ;-)
But seriously, it's just something different that doesn't conform to
the definition of a PTY. Windows doesn't have PTYs. It uses the
console instead.
