<laugh> Much to my surprise, I have Cygwin installed, too. I don't
exactly remember ever installing it, nor running anything from it. So,
problem solved, I found a diff/patch. :)

Whoops. Since I was able to actually make a patch, I submitted it to
Sourceforge, 'tis #418147. Granted, I have a feeling that a couple ways I
'fixed' things aren't quite the Python Way, but they are what needs to be
done.
After they're looked at and I see how they end up really being
implemented, I'll submit the patch to fix 'msvcrt', since theoretically I'll
then know how the 'right' way to fix its problems are. :)
