This cycle brings a t9700 test failure on cygwin, see patch #1. The second patch was owed from the last cycle, sorry about not getting to it sooner, but it is _still_ a puzzle. ;)

I have tested these patches on Linux without issue. On cygwin the t0610 test passes with '--stress' which it failed earlier and the t9700 test has only been tested by hand.

Directly after sending these patches, I will start a '-j8' run of the full testsuite on cygwin and let you know if it fails (it should not!). ;)

[When I run the testsuite like this on cygwin I can't use the laptop for anything else and the keyboard gets _very_ toasty!]

Thanks
Ramsay Jones
