Yeah, I already pointed to commit 64394e3ae9 (but it seems not to have registered!), but ... I tried provoking a failure on cygwin, and I couldn't get it to fail! Since Johannes told me about Gfw fork of the msys-runtime, I didn't even attempt to try and provoke a failure on MSYS2/MinGW. So, maybe it's fixed (no I'm not convinced either) ... ATB, Ramsay Jones
