WHAT???

I went back and checked my previous tests.
THEY worked.
ummm.

I really want to know the root cause, so I'm re-upgrading my cygwin
dll and coreutils, seeing if the dll was hiding, or some other cause
of latency... I don't think I did anything else that could have fixed
the problem.   I haven't messed with my path.  I haven't really
deleted anything but goo and foo all day.  I'll let you know.
