When run all together, the tests re-use the same zpty name, though not
the same pty instance.  I wonder if there's a lurking bug with pty re-use,
either in zpty or in cygwin.

It would appear that some of the output read from zpty is simply getting
lost.  I was just able to get an error very similar to this one:

} *** /tmp/zsh.ztst.out.2132      Thu May 10 19:51:12 2001
} --- /tmp/zsh.ztst.tout.2132     Thu May 10 19:51:12 2001
} ***************
} *** 1,3 ****
}   line: {tst }{}
} - COMPADD:{_tst:compadd: unknown match specification character `z'}
} - INSERT_POSITIONS:{}
} --- 1 ----

I did it by inserting into the "comptesteval" call in "comptestinit" the
argument "exec 2>>| $ZTST_testdir/comptest.log" (trying to examine exactly
how zsh re-uses the pty).  The error I got was:
