Indeed, taken to an extreme, I have built two ECLs: one that uses
		if (fputc(c, fp) == EOF)
			io_error(strm);
and another one where I use for write-char
		if (fwrite(&c, 1, 1, fp) < 1)
			io_error(strm);
Only the second one works as expected. I think I will fill a bug
report for cygwin and move on with the release -- ECL is working fine
on any other platform, it is just this anoying behavior with cygwin
which is left.
