Even with my recent fixes to gdbm and cygipc, I still think that many
of these errors are in the external libraries and not in perl itself.
For instance, the complete failure of all ipc-sysv regression tests,
and the failures in the lib/odbm and lib/ndbm tests.
OTOH, there's plenty of ntsec-triggered failures in parts of perl
that do not rely on external libraries -- the base/rs tests,
lib/dirhand.t, lib/filecache.t, lib/filepath.t, etc.
OTO-O-H, there's a few tests that failed *without* ntsec, and worked
okay *with* ntsec -- lib/glob-basic.
I'm going to try a let my hair grow back before looking at this
again, though. I pulled out way too much of it...
