I'm seeing a few regressions on Win98 with 20060220, 20060223.  They are
making it impossible for me to test CVS coreutils against the latest
snapshot on Win98.  I haven't had time to further track down where the
regressions started, as I haven't otherwise used snapshots on Win98 since
1.5.19 came out.

First regression - 'cvs up' no longer displays any output at all, but
exits with a non-zero status.
Second regression - the compiler is crashing in weird ways during ./configure.
Third regression - appeared between 0220 and 0223 - when the shell exits
within a command.com window, the console still sticks around.

Further screenshots and latest cygcheck output attached.
