OK, 5.6.0 builds and tests ok (5 failures but these are not suprising)
under CygWin 1.3.2.  Nothing like 5.6.1/bleadperl with lots of test 
successes but coredumps on completion.

So it appears that both bleadperl and 5.6.1 have something that is not
clean under CygWin.  The next task is to build cygwin1.dll with the 
additional memory debugging and try and track it down.
