Unfortunately not.  We tried a perl version without increased stack,
because N. Wourms believed it may be the cause, but using perl without
the increased stack didn't change this behaviour.  It also seems to be
no rebase issue.

You could try to build Perl from source on this Win98 box and see if
it works better then.  Just use the source provided at the Cygwin
mirrors, there is a buildscript 'build.sh' included for easy building.

If you try it, please send the generated logs to my hands (not to the
list, please).
