This was caused by the Rational Toolset.  It installs a sh.exe
and sets SHELL environment variable to point to it.  When I 
remove it's definition of "SHELL" this problem goes away.  I was
completely unaware this was on my box.  I'll remember this one
for a diagnose program someday ...

This was caused by a stale "makemake.exe" on my system - it seems 
these utility programs don't have dependencies so never get rebuilt.
The makemake.exe didn't include W2K patches for the crt0 address
wrap, and the new box obviously fragments memory more.  Deleting the
.exe files in the tree and rebuilding them with the current 2.03 or
CVS fixed this problem.

(I also had to delete chew.exe - and also "chew." which would be 
executed and not rebuild chew.exe, but anyway...)

So it was all pilot error...
