I see the behavior but it isn't doing what you think it's doing.
The program is exiting correctly, it just isn't displaying "done". This
is undoubtedly due to some changes in newlib that I thought were worked
around in cygwin. stdout is probably getting closed inappropriately.
I'll see if I can rectify this behavior and release a 1.5.12 ASAP.
Thanks, btw, for the simple test case (TM). FWIW, if you had previously
submitted this test case and demonstrated that this problem as more than
a perl problem it probably would have been fixed in time for 1.5.11.
