Thanks for the effort.  You're working on some of the most complicated code
in cygwin.

However, I'd prefer not to add extra loops at this point, if I can help
it, or add extra burden to the common case of non-managed mode for the
the uncommon case of managed mode.

I have things set up in my sandbox so that the tail information is
passed to the appropriate routine which will recreate trailing dots
if needed.  I'm just running cygwin through the test suite to make
sure I didn't make any egregious mistakes.
