Summary: 2.3.3 tests on cygwin

Initial Comment:
Hello,

After running
./configure --prefix=/usr 
make
make test 

I get the following 
---
217 tests OK.
7 tests failed:
    test_bz2 test_fork1 test_largefile test_os
test_popen2 test_pty
    test_tempfile
31 tests skipped:
    test_aepack test_al test_bsddb185 test_bsddb3
test_cd test_cl
    test_curses test_dbm test_email_codecs test_gl
test_imgfile
    test_ioctl test_linuxaudiodev test_locale test_macfs
    test_macostools test_mpz test_nis test_normalization
    test_ossaudiodev test_pep277 test_plistlib
test_scriptpackages
    test_socket_ssl test_socketserver test_sunaudiodev
test_timeout
    test_unicode_file test_urllibnet test_winreg
test_winsound
Those skips are all expected on cygwin.

When running test_bz2, test_fork1, test_popen2,
test_pty, test_tempfile alone they look ok (return
value to OS is 0).
For the others I'm attaching output.

My system is win2k on IBM T30 (laptop).
Cygwin 1.5.5. 

Miki

AFAICT, this is due to the known Cygwin fork() rebase
problem. Although, I can't be sure because Miki did not
include the actual error messages.

If my assumption is correct, then rebasing your system
(including the DLLs from the build), should solve the problem.

I'm closing the bug report. Please reopen if you this is still
a problem.

Sorry, due to some bizzar DLL relocation problems with
cygwin I can't run the rull test suite.

However test_bz2 fails *before* the test suite gets stuck

Can you verify this with 2.4.1 or a CVS version?
