Thanks, but that's unnecessary.  It turns out that the test succeeds on 
the currently released Cygwin.  The bug that caused it to fail was 
introduced in the development sources for 3.5 and is now fixed there. 
So there's no known Cygwin release in which it fails.

But I'm glad to know about operating-system-release anyway.  Maybe it 
will be useful some other time.
