perl 5.8.0-2 and WaitForMultipleObjects under win98

Has anyone else seen this? Ever since I upgraded from perl 5.6 to perl
5.8.0-2, I am no longer able to run automake or autoconf on my Win98
machine. Both of those invoke perl, and then hang, printing messages
such as:
406 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects
timed out
307776554 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects
timed out
620499865 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects
timed out
Once this has happened, I cannot kill the console that perl was invoked
in, even after using Ctrl-C or kill -9 to stop autoconf. I basically
have to reboot the machine to recover.
cygcheck.out is attached; but I have all the latest software packages.
It is tedious to use the setup to revert to perl 5.6, but when I do
that, the bug disappears.
