    Cygwin: pty: Isolate CTRL_C_EVENTs between ptys.

    - With this patch, unique invisible consoles are created for each pty
      to isolate CTRL_C_EVENTs between ptys. This is necessary by Ctrl-C
      handling in fhandler_termios::process_sigs() for non-cygwin apps
      started in pty if the pseudo console is disabled.

I tried reverting this commit, and it fixed the crash indeed.
