I'm happy to report the following newlib patch:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/newlib-cvs/2004-
q4/msg00031.html

fixes the report problem and test_subprocess passes under
Cygwin CVS as of 20041214.

test_subprocess should pass under Cygwin 1.5.13 (when
released).

Peter, thanks for helping to solve this problem. I really
appreciate your help *and* perseverance. :,)
