Hi Juliusz and list,
(Note: away from home till the 24th, so probably no in-depth thoughts
from me till then)

I think so. Let's reject this patch.
Maybe just having the Windows /dev/null stuff should do the trick, no
need to change the CM stuff. We might need to rewrite the
do-not-output-to-dev-null patch though (so that it no longer depends
on previous patches). Note that the latter patch is neccesary if we
apply the Windows /dev/null stuff; otherwise, putty users would not be
informed when they have to type a password.
That being said, I'm still dissatisfied with the current CM check and
would be delighted if somebody would suggest a better one.
