Perhaps so, but perhaps not - see my last post. I'm fairly sure cygrunsrv
should not involved in invoking expect.exe when I write "make -k check" in a
bash shell in a newly-built gcc object dir! I also haven't changed my
cygrunsrv; I can make the condition appear or disappear by using today's dll
or the one I built from the 17th.

Well, there is no service application in this case, and these ones pop up
for as long as the spawned expect.exe process lives.
