It's already in the open method for any tty device.

The problem is that stdio_init gets called all the

The set_console_ctty function is only called when a cygwin program
is invoked by a non-cygwin program.

A program should have a controlling tty even if it doesn't have a handle open
to the tty.  That means that you can't wait until you initialize a console
or a tty before seting the process's controlling tty.

So, I guess the question is, why is t->getpgid != myself->pid when
ctrl_c_handler is invoked?  What is the value of those two variables?
