I've just re-installed the entire 1.3.2 Cygwin release from
programming.ccp14.ac.uk on a single-processor box with 192MB memory and NT
4.00.1381. I tried the script on a Linux box last night and it was OK but
the errors come freely with all installations of Cygwin at this site.
Output from one run of the test case is as follows:

$ ./test.sh

Could you tell me more about the machines on which you have run this script
successfully? What version of Cygwin, what operating system, etc.

I've attached output from cygcheck -s -v -r.

 (See attached file: cygcheck.out)

Could someone else try the script? It's very simple.

Are there any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
