And this also fixes the original problem in emacs that started the thread:

I reverted commit 252a07b0ad3353abcd0fcd9b1b65ff977acd679e in git master
for now, unless we find a reason to rework this again.

Thanks.  By the way, I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Peter Castro
for the Cygwin Time Machine
(http://www.fruitbat.org/Cygwin/#cygwintimemachine).  The bisection I did,
spanning a period of about 4 years, would have been virtually impossible
without it.

Huh.  I was thinking of git bisect.  It's incredibly helpful.  But, yes,
all power to the Cygwin time machine :)

I first used the time machine to narrow down the problem to between 1.7.35 and 2.0.0. Then I used git bisect to finish the job. But even for that I needed the time machine; for example, I needed an old version of the w32api headers in order to build an old cygwin1.dll.
