Yes, it works. Thank you! But I think that interactive programs using stdin and stdout should be useful without wineconsole. stdin should not be closed, and of course the programs should not think that it's COM1. But I think we'll need to look at Cygwin sources to know what each side thinks about the other side.
This is what I get if I try to run a external command, all internal bash commands work today.
bash-2.05b$ ls
ls

That almost certainly requires a closer look at Cygwin sources. My guess their implementation of fork() may be OS specific and full of workarounds, especially for Win9x.
