No. O_NOCTTY was internally fixed by not using it on Cygwin :-)
There were three groups of tests that were using pty, each run in a
separate zsh invocation (Y01completion.ztst, Y02compmatch.ztst,
Y03arguments.ztst). When run from within make in `make check', second
and third group failed with obvious reason that nothing was read from
master side of pty. If I run each one separately, everything worked.
Additional problem was, that cleanup of failed test failed as well -
there remained hung zsh attached to pty slave in state `I' (as reported
by ps).
It may be possible that some change in zsh fixed it but I do not
remember anything directly related.
