Umm, such daemons as sshd and inetd close their fds connected
with their controlling terminals after they detach them, so
there is no need for my patch in `setsid()'. But it doesn't go
for ssh-agent.

I have another idea:

If the process has a pty slave, setsid() shouldn't call
FreeConsole() because it has a chance to execute Windows
application on the pty.

I will try it later.

No, it wouldn't. The window will pop up when an remote user logs
in and remain until he/she logs out.

I propose inetd invokes AllocConsole only when it runs as a
service and hides the console window if there is the window on
the desktop. Can I implement it?
