Re: popup consoles on Windows 7

It opens when invoking AllocConsole(). If I take out both the
AllocConsole() and the execve(), no console is opened.

Without the AllocConsole in mintty, I think it's the AllocConsole in
fhandler_console::need_invisible() that opens the console window.
Previously it went to the invisible window station created for that
purpose, but now it doesn't.

Okay, I'll try that. Any tips on how best to report Cygwin-related bugs to MS?
