And failure on this test is already known to be a cygwin1.dll deficiency, by both the autoconf team and by cgf (who has made progress on improving pipes for 1.7, but is certainly facing a tough nut to crack). Fortunately, the workaround is simple (albeit a bit more time-consuming) - for testsuites created by autoconf, don't try running them in parallel on cygwin (at least bison, tar, and m4 create testsuites via autoconf) until pipe handling is improved. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
