Did you just make Corinna's day?

Also, I just started gdb -nw (first time I use the latest version)
from rxvt and it popped up a DOS Window I had never seen before.
Then I opened another rxvt, started gdb -nw, no DOS window.
Tried a few more times but didn't see a pattern (WinME).

About the sshd warning, shouldn't fhandler_console::open
take the O_NOCTTY flag into account? I admit I know next 
to nothing about ttys.
