Thanks for the STC. I had to tweak it to actually see how it was supposed
to work on Linux since only a limited number of lines from the pty were
being output. I've included the revised test case below.
I made a simple change to Cygwin which will probably cause subtle
problems somewhere down the line. At least for now it seems to make gdb
operate as expected.
I'm building a new snapshot now.
