It is by no means the last; stay tuned ;-).

I've run the test suite on 3 different machines with 3 different
operating systems, and it worked on all of them.  So this is something
specific to your system (or something specific to mine which I failed
to mention or pay attention to).

FWIW, both tests use `echo'.  Is your version of echo.exe the one
which came with Sh-utils?  Also, you didn't say which version of DJGPP
do you have installed; I used v2.03.

The only 2 peculiarities I can spot in the description of your system
is that (1) the DJGPP bin directory is after the Windows directories
in your PATH, and (2) I used the latest port of Perl (version 5.5.2,
available from SimTel.NET).

If the above doesn't help to resolve this, I'm afraid you'll have to
debug these specific tests and tell what you find.  This is the first
release where the test suite works with DJGPP, so I can easily imagine
that some problems are still lurking there.
