I suppose that I should also mention:

1. This was on Win98. Cygwin's reliability can vary substantially
depending upon the Windows variant, although NT/2K/XP should be more
stable than 95/98/ME.

2. I added -D__W98__ to CFLAGS to have mon.start use spawn() instead
of exec(), i.e.

	CFLAGS='-g -D__W98__' ./configure ...
