No, no -- sorry, I wasn't being clear. What I meant was, it's possible that NOT having
it set, as was true in your case, could make the -w test fail. Therefore, setting ntea
might fix the problem. (Or, setting ntsec might fix the problem). However, you
reported that ntea did not help. So I'm out of ideas there.

Oh - I didn't know that. Is only broken on cygwin, or is Tk8.0018 broken w.r.t
perl5.005_62 on all platforms?
