Thanks, I was being dense.  But look at this one:

$ cat getpgrp_test.c
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>

int
main ()
{
   pid_t pid = getpid ();
   pid_t pgid = getpgid (0);
   printf ("getpid () = %d, getpgid (0) = %d, errno = %d\n", pid, pgid, errno);
}

$ gcc -o getpgrp_test -Wall -g -O0 getpgrp_test.c

$ ./getpgrp_test.exe
getpid () = 1424, getpgid (0) = 1424, errno = 0

$ gdb ./getpgrp_test.exe
GNU gdb (GDB) (Cygwin 8.2.1-1) 8.2.1
[...]
(gdb) r
Starting program: 
/home/kbrown/Documents/programming/misc_examples/getpgrp_test.exe
[...]
getpid () = 1427, getpgid (0) = -1, errno = 0
[...]
[Inferior 1 (process 23872) exited normally]

So getpgid (0) returns -1 without setting errno.  I think this means that 
pinfo::init() didn't fail, but for some reason myself->pgid == -1.
