perl 5.8.0-2 and WaitForMultipleObjects under win98

[Eric Blake]

Has anyone else seen this?  Ever since I upgraded from perl 5.6 to perl 
5.8.0-2, I am no longer able to run automake or autoconf on my Win98 
machine.  Both of those invoke perl, and then hang, printing messages 
such as:

     406 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects 
timed out
307776554 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects 
timed out
620499865 [main] perl 614369 sync_with_child: WaitForMultipleObjects 
timed out

Once this has happened, I cannot kill the console that perl was invoked 
in, even after using Ctrl-C or kill -9 to stop autoconf.  I basically 
have to reboot the machine to recover.

cygcheck.out is attached; but I have all the latest software packages. 
It is tedious to use the setup to revert to perl 5.6, but when I do 
that, the bug disappears.
