That's what release testing is for :)

Maybe.  You introduced the "_cyg" handles, so you should know ;)

On a more serious note, this is, of course, a compatibility
problem.  While _get_osfhandle is called by a Cygwin application,
nobody knows what dubious actions that application will perform
on this handle.  In all likelyhood, it fetched the handle to call
Windows functions.  And *if* it does, wouldn't it make more sense
if the non-Cygwin handle is returned?


Thanks,
Corinna
