[PATCH] Cygwin: pty: Use pinfo() rather than kill() with signal 0.


- PTY code has a problem that tcsh is terminated if the following
  command is executed.
    true; chcp &
  This seems to be caused by invalid pointer access which occurs
  when the process exits during the kill() code is execuetd. This
  patch avoids the issue by not using kill().
