Gerrit, The problem was definitely exposed by Test::Harness. Both perl-5.8.6 and perl-5.8.7 worked fine with the older TH module, and both failed with the newer TH module. I did not try even older perl versions with either TH or my test case. The simplest explanation is the perl behavior on cygwin has been consistently wrong for quite some time, but was never exposed in such a public way before.
