/* The Windows CHAR file system seemed quirky until I realized that it
 * is used to implement the WinNT pseudo terminal. This becomes more 
 * apparent in Vista, where a PTY was implemented in the MAILSLOT
 * file system.
 * For instance, opening CONIN$ and CONOUT$ is equivalent to opening /dev/tty.
 * But the resulting handles are not the system console (despite of the 
 * semantics), because if used outside of the current CMD Window, they
 * are invalid.
 * Trying to DuplicateHandle() parent's STD_XXX_HANDLE while in a child
 * process results in "The parameter is incorrect", but the Handle is
 * valid anyway. In Vista the error is "The handle is invalid".
