Cygwin 1.5.11 has some issues (e.g., pthreads), which is why I skipped
that version... :,)

Did you upgrade Cygwin to 1.5.12?

The above is strange, but the m4 package was just taken over by another
maintainer.

I just upgraded one of my machines to Cygwin 1.5.12, but I did not
upgrade the other packages.  I get the following results:

    failures:

        test_shutil (passed under older Cygwin and/or Python versions)
        test_subprocess (new test)
        test_tcl (new test)

    hangs:

        test_threaded_import (passed under older Cygwin and/or Python versions)

I will investigate the above and report back.

Thanks,
Jason
