The failure is
../tests/test_std.js:279: Error: assertion failed: got |0|, expected |15|
and comes from the last assertion in that test:

    pid =3D os.exec(["cat"], { block: false } );
    assert(pid >=3D 0);
    os.kill(pid, os.SIGTERM);
    [ret, status] =3D os.waitpid(pid, 0);
    assert(ret, pid);
    // Flaky on cygwin for unclear reasons, see
    // https://github.com/quickjs-ng/quickjs/issues/184
    if (!isCygwin) {
        assert(status & 0x7f, os.SIGTERM);
    }

So it probably is just a flaky test.
