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.
