Hmm. Well, JimB got the same result yesterday that I have been seeing (the
stats regression test failure), so I consider that sufficient confoirmation.
I'm not quite sure what question I should be asking of the Cygwin people.

I'll look at the plperl thing. That has also prompted me to add a buildfarm
feature request to test perl, python and tcl if they are configured in.
