OK, I'm not that talented, so I didn't try fixing this bug, but I did report
it with a better testcase here:

I had a look at your post, but out of curiosity, isn't it about adding
functionality for looking up the WINPID from the Cygwin process ID? Is the
fix really that simple? After all, Proc::ProcessTable misreports the PID and
PPID only under certain conditions -- this would indicate a complex issue in
Proc::ProcessTable XS code, right?
