never guess what windows explorer does in your back...
- the right test sequence would be from a program where we know how 
CreateProcess is called
- wine behaves AFAIK as windows: it only creates a console when it's 
asked to (either because of a specific flag in CreateProcess(), or by 
calling AllocConsole()).

your issue could also from a bad error / return value from 
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo() when no console is attached
