What I said with the above is that on True64 Unix opening a terminal
in a process with no controlling tty does *not* make that terminal the 
controlling tty of the process.

So: `how weird'.

Of course I tried to close it -- and on Linux this messed up the
parent's (i.e. the shell's) terminal settings. Don't know how this
came.

Ah, right. I don't use wordcode files in development versions.


This adds the closedumps() function and makes it be called in zpty.c
and zexecve(). Does anyone know of other places where it should be
called?
