Shridar's appears to be the exact setup I am using.

I have just done a fresh cvs checkout, followed by "./configure 
--without-zlib; make check" and got 94 of 95 tests passing (still 
waiting for the alternative join result I submitted weeks ago to be 
added to CVS).

Maybe he is running the check from cygwin, as we used to advise people 
to do? There is no need to do that any more - you can run the regression 
checks from MSys.

Other notes:

There is a bug in the link check code  in configure.in - I will submit a 
patch shortly.

I have also noticed some compiler warnings that we should clean up.

cheers
