It is especially inappropriate to include Perl 5.7.2 (or 5.8.0) until
it will build/test without core dumps when Perl is built for debugging.
See
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-10/msg00067.html
for more details. By downgrading to CygWin 1.3.2-2, I was able to
get around the problems with gdb refusing to break at statements, but
I am still getting cores for roughly a third of the overall tests
during the perl_destruct phase. I am unable to replicate it while
running under gdb, so I am at a loss where to go next. I will post
another message with more details.
