Found a bug in hello world

GNU Hello 1.3 gets caught in an infinite loop under Cygwin 1.1 when given
the -m (read mail) option.
The code is
do
{
sprintf (mailname, "%s/%s", *d, user);
mailfd = open (mailname, O_RDONLY);
} while (mailfd == -1 && (errno == ENOENT || errno == ENOTDIR));
None of the possible mailname's will ever be present, and thus mailfd will
always be -1. And I can't get gdb to admit that "errno" exists under Cygwin
(it tells me "no such symbol"), so I have no idea what's wrong there. But
the condition always succeeds.
Anyhow...
Phil
