Yep, the example with the delete( $ENV   ...) shows clearly that there
is a problem with forked/spawned processes which should be resolved.

In the first place I would be glad if someone (petdance?) could fix TH
for Cygwin so that it works to install modules (well, to run the test suites) on Cygwin.

I wonder why I got no errors when running the testsuite during the build
of perl-5.8.7, maybe some more tests are needed to cover this issue?


5.8.7 ships with Test::Harness 2.48 which doesn't have this code.


It fails to run the tests from the command line with the default
installation of perl-5.8.7 for Cygwin?


Otherwise, there appears to be no specific test of delete $ENV{...}.
There's something in t/op/local.t which dances around the issue.
There probably should be a t/op/env.t, I'm kind of surprised there isn't.
