On Linux isatty on a descriptor connected to serial line returns 0,
on Cygwin it returned 1 so far.  I fixed both problems here, isatty
on a serial line returns 0 now, and lseek on serial (and, FWIW,
sockets) don't simply return 0 anymore, but rather -1 with errno set
to ESPIPE, as on Linux.

These patches are available in the latest snapshot I just uploaded
to https://cygwin.com/snapshots/

Ross, please give it a try.


Thanks,
Corinna
