Ron, what are you getting now on Windows?
Sorry, should have been more specific. The key here is to make PCRE.dll
disappear when Parrot tries to load it. The tests now check for PCRE
("SKIP no pcre-config"), so you don't even get to this point.
But r28376 seems to handle this gracefully as well, instead of the
failed assertion deep in the guts. Closing this ticket.
