I've been there myself.  I've also been the target of a massive
counter attack which was unwarrented.  Shows how fast I unlearn what I
have learned.  :~(

Now that I have calmed down, I am still willing to keep banging and 
trying to work this through.  I'll grab the latest snapshot and see 
what that does.  I am more focused on fixing Perl, but if I have to fix
CygWin to do it, so be it.

BTW, bleadperl is simply the colloquial name for the development branch
(sort of the Bleading Edge, as it were).  Jarkko is doing snapshots 
every day or two so the current bleadperl is actually here:

      http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl AT 12363 DOT tgz
      http://www.iki.fi/jhi/perl AT 12363 DOT tbz

      ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/perl AT 12363 DOT tgz
      ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/languages/perl/snap/perl AT 12363 DOT tbz

      rsync -av ftp.funet.fi::perlsnap perl

for anyone interested in testing this themselves.
