FYI, I reported the perl bug mentioned on the Cygwin mailing list earlier 
today to perlbug and they've reported back that it is a known bug and that 
it'll be fixed in the next version (5.6.2).  Regards,

Rhet

Yes  -  known bug.    It is mended in current development versions,
so should be fixed in perol 5.8 and perl5.6.2.

Thankyou for the report.

Overriding can't replace use of $SIG{__DIE__} in all cases, unfortunately.
It won't catch any die() which is generated inside Perl.
