Odd - I get the same thing with a perl (sources from my
updated package) built on XP against CVS libc.
It hangs after completing subtest 7 (as seen by running
'perl comp/colon.t' directly from the 't' directory).
Under WinME, the binary I built against 2.03+patches works
just fine and passes the entire test.
Not sure if this is a perl, libc, XP or bash issue...
Will try to look into it this weekend, though I'm not sure
I'll be able to debug this properly.

Oh, and I did notice that perl's configure got the names of
ALL extensions right by itself.  Normally it finds the B,
I18N and IO packages as b, i18n and io (which is why Laszlo
added a config.over to set those right again).  So it seems
that under XP, FNCASE=y is always in effect (or something
like that anyway).
